How do you develop and sustain a corporate environment where creativity and innovation can flourish?
Fundamentally, there’s a tension between efficiency and innovation within large commercial organisations. Businesses use structure and process to drive efficiency. However, these necessary systems also act as a restraint on the organisation’s ability to be flexible, create new ideas, and bring innovative new products or services to market.
Creating a more innovative business environment requires a change in the trade-offs between efficiency and flexibility. The Executing Corporate Innovation for Senior Executives Programme is for leaders with the responsibility and authority to make organisational changes facilitating an environment that enables people in organisations to successfully innovate.
To drive corporate innovation, it is essential to capitalise on the knowledge and capabilities of colleagues within organisations. Developing agile and collaborative networks delivers faster, more effective decision-making enabling organisations to quickly seize innovation opportunities in-line with strategic objectives and successfully deliver them to market.

Using technologies we are all now familiar with, you will take part in breakout groups with real time interaction between your peers and faculty. You will engage in realistic simulations or use software-enabled “sprint” design development.

You will be a part of exercises, debates and conversations, engaging directly with our faculty and your peers. Conversations spill over into breaktimes and meals, forming lasting connections. Share your ideas, develop your network and grow professionally, whilst enjoying the historic city of Cambridge.
