1.5-day online training to learn the main innovation tasks such as structure, strategy and development of innovation.

In this online training you will dive into the 4 components of innovation management: Innovation strategy, methods & innovation process, innovation structure and innovation culture. You will also learn how to combine these 4 components within a holistic innovation management.

Holistic innovation management means more than just the successful implementation of ideas and their introduction into the market. The House of Innovation developed by LEAD describes the structured and holistic development of innovation management in a company and considers a total of 4 dimensions: Strategy, processes, structure and culture. We create the basis for understanding the House of Innovation and how you can establish a holistic innovation management in your company.

In this training you will also learn how to create your individual innovation strategy with the help of the roadmapping method, what role the innovation past plays in this, how to recognize trends and how to use them in the design of your strategic search fields.

Finally, you will also learn about the LEAD User method in this training: Where does it come from? How does it work? What are LEAD Users? How do you find them? And how can you implement this method in your company?

This training course is aimed at people who are concerned with the strategic orientation of companies with the help of innovations as well as with innovation development and the creation of structures and strengthening of innovation culture in a company.
