Developing innovation skills requires more than ‘learning on the job’. All too often we get enrolled in training initiatives and we might even get out with good intentions of changing our way of working but the reality is that change is sticky. It requires endured effort but also a context that nurtures you and offers a reflection.

In this session, participants will learn the various aspects of designing a successful L&D program that installs a culture for innovation.
