Innovation - Intro into methods, tools, & working principles

The World Economic Forum defines "innovation" as the number 1 future skill. "complex problem solving" ranks 3, and "active learning" wins silver. Taking this course helps you to start tackling all three skills.

WHY ATTEND

Success today is harder than ever. Most new-found companies and products fail. Even there is a lot of knowledge out there, it seems we cannot keep up with the changes.

To tackle the challenges and win when it comes to innovation, we need to understand, why failure happens - and one thing in advance: it is not tech-related.

Having a clear process, an innovative mindset, and knowing when to use which tools help to overcome the challenges and win markets.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In this course, you will learn why innovation fails and what to do about it.

We will dig into cognitive science to understand why we make wrong decisions, talk about the importance of collaboration, and learn which frameworks help to get us from 0 to 1. Also, we will share our working principles, that help you as a professional or teams to reduce bias in decisions, collaborate better, and become more creative & productive. Those simple principles can be applied in innovation, but also in your day-to-day work, and are independent of any organizational changes. 

On our way, we touch-base frameworks like Design Thinking, Jobs-to-be-done, and Systematic Inventive Thinking, and will go through a creativity exercise.

I am looking forward to seeing you in the course.
