"An excellent day that has provided me with useful knowledge and toolset to take back to my organisation, in order to develop my innovation leadership.”
"An incredibly detailed and well delivered course. There is some incredible reference material and lots of ideas to progress as an Innovation Leader.”
"Excellently delivered course by an exceptionally qualified and knowledgeable tutor. Sam's knowledge, experience, and ability to use real world business examples really helped articulate certain areas of the course. Although pitched at a slightly higher level than that which I currently require, I have no doubt that I will put some of the skills learnt into practice in the future and I'll strive to continue developing my knowledge and experience within innovation.”
"This was a really good course. Intelligent and informative instruction, I got more than I expected from the course. It wasn't easy, (not that being easy is good) but does have really relevant tie ins from other courses that I have done, without overlap. I would happily recommend this to anyone who is likely to go into a role where fostering an innovation mindset in people is important.”
