Program Overview

Business Innovation

Introduction

Innovation can be defined as the creation of new value. As such, innovation differs from the creation of ideas or the invention of a new method or technology. Capitalizing on new ideas or an invention falls into the category of innovation, which a priori makes it a business-related endeavor.

Existing companies as well as startups have to innovate to stay relevant in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment. The nature of the business model as well as the environment in which it is embedded determines the type of innovation that is required. In this module, you are invited to work on your own idea as well as an innovation challenge in the organization you work for. The overall goal is to enable you to use the business innovation toolkit to increase the agility and resilience of any organization you work for in order to make it future-proof.
