Innovation Management is a combination of the management of innovation processes and Change Management. It refers to products, business processes, marketing and organizational innovation.

Nowadays, Innovation Management is not an option anymore. Indeed, Innovation is one of the main drivers for organizations to stay competitive on the market and play the role of a market leader as well.

In this scenario, the Innovation Management bundle course provides an exhaustive and outstanding support. The bundle is assorted in the following way:

In fact, any best in class organization lays on different level of strategies, including corporate, business and innovation strategy.

But how to recognize the approach that best fits to my project and my organization?
