Description

Innovation is no longer about idea management systems, hackathons, or such other initiatives. For organisations to remain relevant and resilient, innovation needs to be intentionally institutionalised i.e. embedded into strategy, ways of working, leadership behaviours, and decision-making systems.

This course is designed for leaders, sponsors, and practitioners who are responsible for shaping conditions where innovation can consistently emerge, evolve, and create meaningful business outcomes.

Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all model, the course offers thinking frameworks, examples, and reflective exercises that act as triggers for you to explore what institutionalising innovation could look like in your context.

As an example from few organisations, you will know about few different strategic needs for institutionalising innovation and because of which, how expected outcomes differ. Explicitly articulating these is critical to bring everyone on the same page.

The course explores the environment required to foster a culture of innovation, including practices, principles, and platforms that enable innovation to move beyond intent into action. It also examines the roles people play, the competencies required across levels, and the leadership behaviours that differentiate sponsors who are more likely to succeed.

In addition, the course introduces practical frameworks to help map, track, and make sense of progress across business outcomes, environment maturity, and people capabilities—while allowing flexibility for contextual adaptation.

The final section brings these elements together through a staged view of the journey, enabling you to evolve a phased and realistic roadmap for institutionalising innovation.

Leaders and managers responsible for driving innovation and change
Executives and senior leaders fostering a culture of innovation
Innovation and transformation leaders scaling innovation across teams
