OVERVIEW

Innovation is critical to the future of your business

Most business leaders agree that innovation is a top priority in order to defend against new competitive threats and exploit new opportunities for growth. But there is often a lack of understanding about what drives innovation, and crucially how to engage all of the talent within organisations to “make innovation happen”. This was highlighted in the recent report “Total Innovation” commissioned by NESTA, which recommended training to develop more interdisciplinary skills and stronger business skills in order to improve innovation.

INNOVATE! is an intensive one day programme which delivers comprehensive training on the latest innovation strategies, processes, policies, and models. Packed with real life examples and case studies, together with group exercises and follow on resources, delegates will gain the knowledge required to drive innovation within their organisations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

INNOVATE! is specifically designed for Engineers, Scientists, and Technologists who manage (or have the potential to manage) projects, people, and budgets within high technology organisations. The programme focuses on their training requirements, as well as providing an excellent networking opportunity.
