Open innovation, an open-source approach to innovation that promotes collaboration both inside and outside the organization, was originally created by  Professor Henry Chesbrough in 2003. Since then it has become one of the most widely adopted innovation management concepts in mid to large-sized firms, spreading from Silicon Valley to around the globe. 

The Open Innovation for Leaders program serves not only as training to learn the major concepts behind innovation management but as a platform to put these concepts to work. Taught by the ‘Father of Open Innovation’ himself, Faculty Director Henry Chesbrough will guide you through the key concepts of open innovation and teach you how to conquer organizational barriers to successfully implement new innovations. You will learn how to integrate innovative thinking in all aspects of your business including technology, strategy, design, and business operations. Through innovative leadership, you will master all essential processes to manage innovation and effectively implement business innovation throughout your company. Upon completion, you will have a personalized action plan that launches the path of your new innovation.
