50% of all innovation efforts fail to realise the expected value because the innovation doesn't address the real problem or execution fails. The technical leader, who leads many of the innovation efforts in organisations, needs a solid, customer-centred approach to initiating, developing, and deploying innovative solutions. Learners will engage in a customer-centred design process from framing to implementation and practice discovering, framing, and driving successful innovation efforts that create sustainable value.
