Maggie Nichols, Eureka! Ranch CEO says, “I’m particularly excited about the real ROI cited by both companies, teams and employees from this course. Employees get more skills and energy for innovation. Teams get a common language and framework to use for how they collaborate. Companies getting more sales, savings or problem-solving as employees innovate on real company challenges. It’s a true win, win, win.”
“The Innovation Engineering process is one of the best methodologies that I have seen thus far. There are many methodologies out there, including Design Thinking, Lean Startup, etc. which originate from the same philosophy as Innovation Engineering – the one where creativity and innovation originate from customer-centricity and solving real problems iteratively. However, the part that made Innovation Engineering stand out for me was the structured approach of tying innovation to business strategy,” stated Sudheendra Galgali, VP, Head of Innovation & Digital, Munich RE Innoscout (Silicon Valley)
Maggie Pfeifer, VP of Education, agrees. “I’m thrilled with our team’s ability to build a program to ensure no one has to choose between getting work done and getting training. This course and certification let you do both.”
