You are an innovation manager, product developer or have another position in which you are responsible for conceiving and developing new products, services or processes. Your job is to fuel the innovative and creative thinking of your team or colleagues so that your organization remains competitive in the marketplace.

However, you have no clear roadmap to guide your team through an innovation process and you find it difficult to get everyone on the same page. New ideas are quickly killed and you experience resistance when it comes to innovation. In short, you get stuck and don't know how to get innovation processes moving.



What if you had a structured process that allows you to work step by step from problem to solution and create support for new ideas? Ideally, you want to come up with excellent solutions much faster with your team. Solutions that truly make an impact and help your organization:

⠀⠀•Save costs

⠀⠀•Gain (or maintain) a competitive edge in the market

⠀⠀•Generate more revenue

⠀⠀•Improve or innovate processes to work more efficiently




60 to 90% of innovation projects fail because organizations try to solve a non-existent problem...

(Just imagine how much time and money is wasted...)

With over 15 years of experience of training and facilitating teams on innovation and creativity, we know that having a sophisticated roadmap leads to a tremendous acceleration of an innovation process. Organizations save up to 50% of the time they normally spend on this type of process by knowing exactly what to do and avoiding endless discussions. They also come up with much more creative ideas and realize better solutions.

That's why we created Innovation Bootcamp Online: an on-demand training containing smart tools and techniques that will reduce the time spent on your innovation process and help you develop competitive products and services users and customers really want.

Innovation Bootcamp Online: develop better products, services or processes in half the time


You'll go through a clear, structured roadmap to get from problem to tested solution and get tools that you can put into practice right from the start of the training. You will also learn how to create support for the outcomes of an innovation project and how to keep a team engaged.


Some of the benefits and learning outcomes are:

  • Know how to use a structured process with your team to realize better solutions in half the time
  • Know exactly how to create support for new ideas
  • Avoid solving non-existent problems (one of the biggest pitfalls in innovation!)
  • You get a toolkit that you can use over and over again for new innovation projects
  • Understand techniques to ensure that everyone on your team can contribute to the process
  • Being able to help your organization save a lot of money because you innovate much faster
  • Stay - or become - competitive in the market with new products, services and processes users or customers really need
  • Future-proof skills such as creative thinking, complex problem solving and critical thinking


The Approach

The training contains explainer videos, downloadable tools and templates, knowledge tests which are accessible whenever and wherever you are. You can choose the time, place, and pace of your learning, which allows for a personalized and flexible learning experience.

You can fit learning into your busy schedule, as you can access the course whenever you have free time. This convenience makes it easier to balance your professional and personal commitments while acquiring new knowledge and skills.

Method

The fundamentals of this training have been developed in collaboration with Google and is based on proven innovation and creativity methods - such as Design Thinking and Google Sprints. These processes focus on actually taking action (and not just talking about innovation).

Combined, the course instructors have over 30 years of experience in training and facilitating innovation processes and only work with practical tools and techniques proven in practice. What you learn is therefore directly applicable in your organization.

Investment

This training is for you:

  • When you are (co-)responsible for innovation in your organization (whether commercial, non-profit or government) but don't have a clear process to follow (you don't know where to start).
  • If you are facilitating innovation in your organization, but it feels like you are shooting blanks; you need a clear structure and roadmap.
  • When you want to innovate up to 2x faster.
  • When you want to learn tools and techniques that improve team collaboration.
  • When you want to avoid develop solutions for non-existent problems (which happens very often in innovation projects!) and therefore waste a lot of time and money.



This training is NOT for you:

  • If you already apply a working innovation process in your organization and are 100% satisfied with it.
  • When you cannot or do not want to invest time and energy in putting the offered tools and techniques into practice.
  • When innovation is not important (enough) for you or your organization.
  • When you are convinced that the way things are now in your organization does not have to change and you prefer to keep doing what you have been doing until now.
  • When you want to stay in your comfort zoneWhen you are convinced that innovation is an extra task on your already full to-do list that costs you a lot of extra time.
