The overall intention of the course is to train attendees in how to initiate strategic innovation within large, complex organizations. The emphasis will be on augmenting attendees’ existing skills for conceiving, designing, and leading behavior change at scale. In doing so, the course will broaden attendees’ leadership and innovation toolkit through a “case sprint” structure. The course will teach a collection of analytic and creative concepts that are curated to strengthen attendees’ existing leadership capabilities and improve their strategic thinking in their primary roles.
