Innovator’s Accelerator: Imparting the Skills of the Innovator

By Kaylee Kolditz
 

Is it possible for companies to teach the skills of innovation to leaders and teams to help secure a marketplace advantage? The six-week Innovator’s Accelerator™online program is designed to do just that: impart the skills of the innovator–as taught by industry leaders and demonstrated through case studies–in as little as one hour per day.

Since innovation is critical for a company to outshine its competition and succeed in today’s marketplace, one would hope the skills of an innovator would be something they could impart to every member of their team. While some propose that a knack for innovation is something you’ve either “got” or you don’t, there is solid evidence that innovation skills can be learned. The thought leaders behind the Innovator’s Accelerator program have developed an online training program that makes acquiring the skills of an innovator and learning how to implement them within one’s organization something very tangible.

In a short, six-week program, potential innovators from companies large and small go through online modules and participate in a team project – helped along the way by the program facilitator – enabling them to put lessons into practice. The online nature of the program means that lessons can be viewed from virtually any location and at times most convenient for each participant, which helps to ensure that employees are able to actively participate and get the most out of the program. The end result is a real ability to implement their newly honed innovation skills within their organization.>>>
