Methods used:
- The focus is on case studies and exercises in which participants concretize and apply the theoretical principles.
- In addition to lectures and practice-oriented exercises, there are numerous opportunities for professional and personal exchange as well as networking during the course during joint evening events.
The professionally organized and compactly structured course combines the theoretical background knowledge with the practical application very clearly. The applied case study as well as the numerous practical examples deepen the understanding of models, tools and methods enormously. Already during the course, some aspects became apparent that I would like to implement immediately in my company. The course can therefore be clearly recommended as a preparatory or further training measure for anyone working in the innovation environment.
