What You'll Do:

This is a self-directed program that builds on your existing expertise; it is an applied learning program.

Learning Objectives

Organizations do not innovate. People do.

The challenge is to understand, embrace, and realize your ability to be a force for positive change. To be informed, intelligent and take inspired action.

You'll build skills that allow you to create situations better than what exist; and identify critical uncertainties about the future. Using a supply chain case study, you will learn to use the fringe mapping tool to ideate what might be ahead, the scenario planning tool to juxtapose different emerging possibilities, see how they interact and coalesce into a set of plausible narratives.

The program provides a toolkit-template, and your innovation journey helps you learn how to use it.
