A brilliant way to learn and to test how the GIMI tools can be applied in a real-world sense for practical outcomes.”— Sean Webb\, Manager – Innovation and Partnerships\, CBH Group \n\n\n“I participated… hoping to learn methods to continue my innovation efforts in a consistently scalable and repeatable manner\, and the GIMI frameworks provide exactly that… Repeatable and scalable.”— Eric Berrill\, Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer\, núaTECH \n\nWho it’s for\n\nInnovation and transformation leaders and practitioners\nStrategy\, PMO\, product\, digital\, and operations leaders\nEmerging innovation champions who need a solid toolkit and common language\n\nWhat you’ll get\n\nPractical tools and methods you can apply immediately\nA structured approach to building innovation capability (not just running projects)\nA globally recognised credential that signals professionalism in innovation\n\nExpressions of Interest are now open.
