Detailed Overview/Outline

Program curriculum

With economic conditions shifting rapidly, organizations need to find new ways to compete suc­cessfully in today's global economy. Most companies want to realize double-digit growth. Traditional means of achieving this growth-incremental growth or growth through the introduction of new products in the existing pipeline-are no longer sufficient. The answer lies in successful innovation-both in the core business and in new markets.

Redefine and better implement innovation in your organization using the groundbreaking research and field work of Innosight and their founder, Harvard Business School Professor, Clayton Christensen. Learn a predictable and repeatable proven process for driving growth through innovation. Use practi­cal tools and real-life case studies to spot internal and external opportunities for innovation. Under­stand and apply the power and methodology of "disruptive innovation".

Only 1 in 10 companies is able to maintain an above-average rate of growth for more than a few years. Organizations that utilize the principles and patterns of successful "disruptive strategies" accelerate their potential to drive new revenue growth through innovation. Unleash the power of innovation in your organization today!

This program will be facilitated by select Linkage and Innosight faculty.
