Introduction
Many organizations invest heavily in innovation but struggle to translate ideas into tangible outcomes. Ideas often stall due to uncertainty, weak prioritization, or a lack of managerial support. Innovation, therefore, should not be treated as a one-off activity but as a systematic, ongoing process that requires structure, governance, and strategic alignment.

This course addresses this challenge by working on both doing innovation—generating and developing ideas— and supporting innovation—creating the systems, resources, and decision-making processes that allow ideas to thrive. You gain a structured, research-based, and practical approach to innovation management that can be directly applied in your own organization. By integrating theoretical frameworks with hands-on activities, we provide middle managers and technical specialists with the tools to ensure valuable innovations are never “lost in translation” when moving toward senior leadership.
