Innovation Execution Training
Simple and practical innovation training that support teams, enterprises, and everyone in between.
Everyone can be more innovative
After training thousands of people, and measuring the outcomes, we know it’s true. We take vague ideas that surround terms like Creative, Innovative, and Inventive, and provide simple, easy-to-use techniques that anyone can apply to any problem. The best part is that this process is so clear and engaging that you can transform your teams in less than 3 days.
The secret to our technique is the unique Kotelly 10-Step Innovation Process. We teach the skills of invention along with leadership skills that separate those who just have good ideas, from the people who have good ideas which create value.
What Is Innovation?
Blade Kotelly defines this commonly (and often incorrectly) used term at the MIT ILP Startup Showcase, Tokyo 2022

“Truly one of the most charismatic lecturers I have had the privilege to learn from”
“My Key Take-Aways From The Training: It gave me practical tools - not only did it provide a high level theory/approach, but the toolkit is granular enough to apply to real life problems. It inspired me. This iterative process is what helps us to achieve breakthroughs!!”
-Amy B. Cohen-Dagan, Global Innovation at Anheuser-Busch
