While breakthroughs occasionally succeed due to championing behavior, it doesn’t happen often enough for established companies to rely on to secure their future. The fact is, a number of abilities are required for Breakthrough Innovations (BI) to make it from the lab to the market. The purpose of this course is for participants to understand the talent management practices necessary to support the company’s breakthrough innovation objectives, beyond invention. Role definition, challenges to innovation careers, and approaches to selection, development and retention will be covered.
The goal is to move from a champion model towards a perspective that recognizes New Business Creation as a discipline and expertise.
