Why Innovation? Why Now?

Why THIS Program IS different

Unlike other business programs that are based on a few personal experiences or third-person research – this program is grounded in front-lines innovation work and hard data from the world’s largest database (25,000+) on what drives success and failure. The data is so reliable that the curriculum, called Innovation Engineering, is recognized as a new field of academic study with undergraduate and graduate degrees offered at colleges and universities.

World leaders in business and innovation who’ve used these methods include Walt Disney, Nike, Pepsi-Cola, American Express, Procter & Gamble, US Department of Commerce, and thousands of others.

This program is brought to you by the Innovation Engineering Institute – a partnership between the Eureka! Ranch and the University of Maine.
