A creative idea becomes an innovation when it undergoes a transformative process to make it practical. Innovation is the driving force that underpins long-term organisational growth and competitiveness. An innovative and innovating organisation brings new ideas to life in all aspects of its operation to address the needs of internal and external stakeholders. We walk the path to understanding innovation, its different forms and its management. Through case studies and workshops, we learn to identify different types of innovations and how organisations and their stakeholders can benefit from them. Working in multidisciplinary teams, we learn to identify opportunities for innovation, create and design innovative solutions for some of the most pressing issues in different types of organisations. We draw on multidisciplinary insights and employ practice-based design thinking solutions to address key organisational problems and challenges.
