Participants from previous cohorts had this to say:
“Many times when you come to a problem or question you can be limited in developing solutions from past knowledge and prior constraints. The tools shared in the SIT Innovation Strategies course were extremely beneficial to help you reframe your problem or question to better realize possible solutions that you otherwise wouldn’t have even considered. This could then lead to increased value or critical differentiation for your product or process.”
"The SIT course was highly engaging and provides a very practical framework.
I felt ready to employ the new tools at my organization immediately."
“I found the concepts useful. We only look at one aspect of our strategic questions, but these concepts help us challenge that. The format was very good and effective: Use of media was good. Delivery was good. Breakout rooms were good. In general, the short course was quite effective.”
"I really enjoyed the online SIT Exec Ed course, which allowed me to put some of the principles of creative constraints and innovation into action. By working with the SIT faculty as well as peers, SIT came to life in a new, more meaningful way that was really valuable."
