Oxford Strategic Innovation Programme
About this Course
For years, innovation has been seen as a tool for finding new solutions to current challenges, in particular those that have been brought on by technological disruption. However, it’s unlikely that the challenges of tomorrow will be anything like those we face today. In such a fast-paced and uncertain world, businesses need to develop the strategic capacity to respond to unforeseen challenges.
The Oxford Strategic Innovation Programme approaches innovation as a tool for handling challenges that can’t yet be predicted. Designed by Oxford Saïd’s leading expert on innovation, Marc Ventresca, you’ll redefine what innovation means, why it’s essential, and how it can be mobilized within your organization.
Through a critical thinking and analytical approach, you’ll explore different ways of navigating innovation and how to implement it within your organizational design, structure, and culture.
Learn to build systems that can adapt to unpredictable situations, making it a sustainable and routine practice within your organization.
This programme is suitable for senior business professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, or consultants from all industries who want to enable innovation within their organizations. This programme will equip you with the skills to influence strategy and decision-making, and employ innovation practices within your business structure. Build an environment that is optimized for developing new ideas through fostering a culture of innovation in your organization.
Guided by global thought leaders and Oxford Saïd faculty, you’ll gain cutting-edge insights and discover new approaches to solving business challenges. As this is an industry-agnostic programme, you’ll be equipped with the tools to create increased value regardless of your business area or market sector.
Acquire the necessary tools to maximise innovation within your organisation and earn an official certificate of attendance from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
Assessment is continuous and based on a series of practical assignments completed online. In order to be issued with a digital certificate, you’ll need to meet the requirements outlined in the programme handbook. The handbook will be made available to you as soon as you begin the programme.
