Innovation Engineering Leadership Institute
We recognize that three days is a long time to attend a training program; however, it really takes three days to build deep confidence in the ability to lead in the Creation, Communication and Commercialization of meaningfully unique innovations. During the three days, you will learn the Innovation Engineering System. During the evenings of the first two days, you will apply what you’ve learned to your own business or organization with the help of Innovation Engineering coaches. At the end of the three days, you will have a whole new set of ideas and plans for implementation on your first day back to work.
