Innovation is no longer optional—it’s essential for business survival and growth. Yet, most organisations struggle to turn ideas into results. This course gives you the frameworks, tools, and practical know-how to design and execute innovation strategies that work in the real world.

Drawing on 25 years of experience advising technology SMEs, corporates, and public organisations, I’ll guide you step by step through the innovation journey—from assessment and analysis to vision, execution, and performance. You’ll learn how to avoid the pitfalls that cause most innovation initiatives to fail and instead build a roadmap that balances short-term wins with long-term transformation.

With case studies (including MedInnova), downloadable toolkits, and practical exercises, this course is built for business leaders, consultants, and innovation practitioners who want to drive measurable impact.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Assess internal strengths, external trends, and competitive forces.

• Define a clear innovation vision and align it with business strategy.

• Apply proven frameworks like SWOT, Ansoff, Stage-Gate, and the Ambition Matrix.

• Build a balanced innovation portfolio that manages risk and accelerates growth.

• Create an innovation roadmap with KPIs, governance, and measurable outcomes.

• Sustain innovation momentum and lead organisational change effectively.
