Leading Innovation: Creative Teams to Transformation
About this course
In this Specialization, you’ll learn how to lead innovation—from generating better ideas with your team to implementing initiatives that drive real organizational change. You’ll start by building a repeatable creativity practice. You’ll learn when and why creativity matters, how to shift perspectives to spot new possibilities, and how to move through the creative process with more confidence and momentum. You’ll also learn how to sustain progress through setbacks and build a supportive culture where creativity can thrive. Next, you’ll focus on creative collaboration. You’ll learn how to pitch ideas so others feel clarity and excitement, how to evaluate ideas (yours and others’) so great solutions aren’t missed, and how to lead groups so collaboration supports innovation instead of shutting it down. From there, you’ll transition into strategic innovation management. You’ll use research-informed frameworks and practical tools to implement innovation initiatives inside established firms, including when disruptive technologies change the rules. You’ll explore leadership of new product development teams, planning and evaluation of innovation efforts, and managing innovation across organizational boundaries (like alliances or virtual firms). Finally, you’ll build leadership skills for innovation at scale—balancing new and established markets (ambidexterity), designing and leading innovation teams, and planning change initiatives that address resistance.
