Course overview
The closer you get to the top of organisations, the starker the importance of creativity and innovation. Equally, spend any time with an entrepreneur and quickly they will promote the importance of creativity and innovation too. For this reason, if you are, or plan to be either an entrepreneur or manager, having a clear and articulate understanding for these concepts will give you tremendous advantage. This course will do more than reinforce the vague notions of innovation and creativity as buzzwords but will instead give you a practical toolkit to both understand and more reliably harness innovation in organisations and personal projects.
