Leading Innovation in Organizations

https://ufred.ca/courses/mba-6026/

Course description

Innovating is not simple; it is fundamentally different than executing (the usual day-to-day management focus). As companies grow, they may focus on their executing skills, and thus forgo innovation. This is because innovation involves higher levels of uncertainty and risk than they may feel is acceptable for daily operations. Without a concentrated effort on fostering innovation capabilities, organizations can fall behind and fail.

A wide variety of practices are unique to innovation, requiring a different strategy, organizational culture, structure, and process. This course will teach you the proven ways to lead and manage innovation in organizations.
