Learn Innovation Methods and Practices for a Stronger KM Practice
Our world is constantly being re-created by innovation. In fact, the pace has become so intense that 8 in 10 organizations don’t survive longer than
a few cycles of innovation, dying after only a few fitful decades. However, companies who have effectively structured and formalized their approach
to innovation, reap tremendous rewards. How was this accomplished?
In this master class, you will learn new tips, obtain new tools, and gain a
proven methodology for innovation success. You'll leave with the necessary knowledge and skills to initiate and guide the delivery of Innovation, no
matter what your organizational size, structure, or purpose.

Delivery
Students have two training options:
1. Master Class - students wishing to take a deep dive into Innovation who may or may not be
interested in Certification. The 2-day Master Class earns credit toward CKS Certification should
you choose to get Certified at a later date.
2. 
CKS Certification in Innovation - students wishing to earn Certification can do so by taking
the KMI "KM Foundation" course online, plus the 2-day Innovation Master class. Note: past Grads
(CKP/CKM) can bypass the "Foundation" course and take just the Master Class and exam.
For more on Certification on this topic, please visit the CKS page and click on "Innovation."
See below for details on your options. "CKS" = Certified Knowledge Specialist (in a KM topic).
