Innovation Bootcamp Online (on demand course)

Accelerate your innovation process and create offerings that genuinely address the needs of your target audience. Discover strategies to develop, test, and refine your ideas twice faster, ensuring that your innovations hit the mark at less cost.

As an innovation manager, product developer, or someone holding a similar role, your responsibility lies in conceptualizing and developing new products, services, or processes. Your task is to nurture and cultivate the innovative and creative thinking of your team or colleagues to ensure your organization's continued competitiveness in the marketplace.

However, you face the challenge of lacking a clear roadmap to guide your team through the innovation process, making it difficult to align everyone on the same page. New ideas are often prematurely dismissed, and you encounter resistance when it comes to embracing innovation. In essence, you're at an impasse, unsure how to set innovation processes in motion.

What if you had a structured process that allows you to work step by step from problem to solution and create support for new ideas? Ideally, you want to come up with excellent solutions up to twice faster with your team. Solutions that truly make an impact and help your organization:

Save costs
Gain (or maintain) a competitive edge in the market
Generate more revenue
Improve or innovate processes to work more efficiently
Attract talented employees

60 to 90% of innovation projects fail because organizations try to solve a non-existent problem...

(Just imagine how much time and money is wasted...)

With over 15 years of experience of training and facilitating teams on innovation and creativity, we know that having a sophisticated roadmap leads to a tremendous acceleration of an innovation process. Organizations save up to 50% of the time they normally spend on this type of process by knowing exactly what to do and avoiding endless discussions. They also come up with much more creative ideas and realize better solutions.

That's why we created Innovation Bootcamp Online: an on-demand training containing smart tools and techniques that will reduce the time spent on your innovation process and help you develop competitive products and services users and customers really want.
