Breakthrough Management Group is now offering a two-day course to help would-be and current Chief Innovation Officers. It is designed for executives with enterprise-wide innovation responsibility, VP’s/Directors of R&D and corporate strategy, and executives who are responsible for driving organizational innovation. Particularly relevant for the Real Innovation audience is the focus on “Establishing a Systematic Innovation Process,” including an innovation roadmap, metrics discussion, processes, techniques and tools for achieving repeatable and predictable innovation.
