Nothing is essential to the well-being of an organization, industry, profession, or even a country than its capacity to think creatively and innovate in a world-class way. Yet, few organizations and executives take the time to develop skills and competencies in innovation management. Consequently, innovation professionals overseeing innovation-driven growth and performance are a rare breed.
The Certified Innovation Professional (CIP) program builds the executive and organization’s capacity for generating and accelerating profitable growth through innovation. The program helps an organization to develop an elite group of innovation leaders who are experts in the best practices for generating and implementing new ideas, advancing collaboration on critical projects, and capturing the value of innovation. The program prepares anyone in any organization, private or public, who wants to differentiate from the pack through skills and competencies in creativity and innovation management.
