About this Course

This course highlights the fact that the next great idea and innovation could come from anywhere or anyone – a student, an employee, a customer, a vendor, or even a stranger. And beyond the product or initial idea, innovation has also become critical in the entire business processes to give your business the leading edge. While many people often see little distinction between creativity and innovation, there is a significant difference between the two. Not all bright ideas are innovative, even if they appear to be quite creative. Being a game-changer, not merely creative, is what makes the difference between a market-altering product and one that has limited appeal.
