To survive and thrive organisations need to have leaders who understand and can implement genuine innovation, and deliver ground-breaking new products and services on a sustained basis.

The Design Thinking approach, tools and processes you’ll learn on this course, are the life-blood of ideas at organisations like Apple and Toyota, and instrumental in their success.

The course will give you the all-important foundations to be able to create truly innovative solutions, which are built out of customer needs and stakeholder aspirations, and which your customers, colleagues and management buy and love.

The course is facilitated by experts in innovation and behavioural change who have extensive experience as c-suite leaders in business. They will draw on leading-edge research and the latest behavioural science to provide a highly experiential course that will inspire profound leadership development.

Our Innovation and Design Thinking course is offered as a private training session and can be delivered at our own training facilities in San Francisco or Baltimore or any location of your choice.
