Innovation Suite 2010 – New York City
SIT will be conducting its 5th innovation course in New York City from Nov 1-3, 2010. This course is designed for middle management and above, but most anyone can benefit from the learning experience. Participants of previous courses were Presidents, Marketing VPs and Directors, R&D VPs and Directors, Innovation Teams, and Product Directors from both large multinationals and smaller organizations. You can register for it at http://www.sitsite.com/academy/.
Here are the goals of the course:
- Be able to independently apply SIT innovation tools to your own business issues to arrive at solutions that you would not normally think of.
- Learn how to develop a culture and practice of innovation in your organization utilizing only existing resources and structures, resulting in a less traumatic organizational change.
- Begin to work on a relevant issue and arrive at some ideas through the 3-day workshop and the coaching hours.
- Gain facilitation skills and receive support for conducting innovation mini-sessions in your organization.
- Network with like-minded innovation lovers from a variety of companies, and learn how they approach innovation.
- Be able to implement the knowledge acquired in the course upon your return to your company thanks to a structured follow-up program.
The course fee is $2,800 which includes course tuition; coaching hours; SIT materials including an internal “mini-session facilitation kit”; 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 1 dinner. The course fee will be rebated back to you if your company orders a project from SIT by May 1st 2011.
