Description

Innovation is the lifeline of progress, and those who master its nuances stand at the forefront of change. This course, "Nine Habits of Highly Effective Innovators," is meticulously crafted to provide professionals an insider look into the distinguishing habits that characterize influential innovators across the globe and how to encourage such habits in their own organizations or those of their clients.  As a precursor to an immersive live workshop, this course offers participants the chance to introspect, dissect, and address specific personal experiences related to innovation.
