  • Why Innovation Leadership

    Increase competence in innovation can assist your organisation and your employees to adapt for the new future. Innovation is an important driving force for economic growth and job creation and is about identifying, evaluating and exploiting new opportunities. Innovation is not just about establishing new organisational companies (start-ups), but creating board value in different contexts with existing departments and organisations.

    There is a clear connection between organisations that are able to adapt to changes in society and the number of employees with innovation and entrepreneurial skills.

    Awareness and importance of innovation is growing strongly and has become significant part of industrial business policy, which has led to stronger focus on supporting the development of innovation skills in employees both in in all sectors.
