The Innovation Operative course is delivered entirely online and consists of a mix of pre-recorded online academic lectures, which will be elaborated at an individual pace.
They are combined with live group session formats such as lectures from distinguished guest academics and industry leaders, workshops and individual coaching session.
If more employees from different departments of your firm should be trained to become Innovation Operatives we tailor the Innovation Operative Program, according to your industry and specific need and interest (e.g. focus on smart cities, healthcare, energy sector, …).
You can choose from more than 100 modules, and we also customize our academic faculty and special guests (e.g. industry experts) for you, drawing from a large network of top universities and institutes.
We make sure that also the coaches, we provide to your participants during the program have a corresponding background and expertise.
In 24 pre-recorded modules Prof. Dr. Roberto Saracco (Chair of the Future Direction Committee of the IEEE and COMSOC distinguished lecturer at University of Trento) delivers a broad overview and understanding of the most relevant future-leading technologies, basic concepts and current innovation trends.
Executives of innovative firms, successful Entrepreneurs and outstanding Industry Experts will present in keynotes how they apply technology-, business model and open innovation approaches on a daily basis.
Participants will be assigned a personal tutor who coaches them throughout the course, supplies in-depth readings, publications and additional podcasts or video material on the technologies and innovative solutions that are of most interest to the participant.
In this Open-Lab format course participants will elaborate practical cases of their own choice together with their peers and IO-experts that result in an MVP and POC of product-, service- and/or process-innovation to be commercialized.
