CURRICULUM COMING SOON!
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Without a structured approach to ‘innovation’ and organization is wandering in the desert hoping for a miracle. With the guidance in ISO 56002 your organization can develop a repeatable process for creating innovation. Without it, disorganized activities that look ‘innovative’ can lead to frustration and ineffective use of resources. Opportunities are lost and we fall further behind. But with an ‘innovation framework’ risk of failure is reduced and your organization can make some real sustainable progress.
METHODOLGY After you take the online course, if your organization would benefit from having a customized course, we can develop one for you.
It could be structured like this: First week of instruction: Monday – Thursday – Four online sessions of 3 hours each day, 12 hours total. We use the IMSI 80/20 Model: 20% Instructor lecturing, and 80% exercises. ZOOM lets us create break-out rooms so 2 or 3 people can work together on exercises. Then a three week Break to do the project. Students will be working together in the ‘Forum’ to share ideas and complete the project as a team or helping each other. Participants can access the Instructor with questions and/or talk to each other.Project will be specific to each organization and will be designed to improve the effectiveness of their management system, no matter what kind of system it is.
CERTIFICATION
Certificates of Attendance are presented after the course and Certificate of Competence after completion of a successful project.
