Innovation Analyst Program
Why the certification is relevant
Today, every business and industry is affected by disruption and is desperately trying to innovate. Innovation, by definition, is the introduction of something new. Without innovation, there isn’t anything new, and without anything new, there will be no progress.
If an organisation isn’t making any progress, it simply cannot stay relevant in the competitive market. Therefore, innovation includes but is not limited to gaining a competitive advantage.
The Innovation Analyst Program including Individual Performance Coaching is offered as a 5 days training program and is designed and certified by the Global University Alliance.
