Level Two (Day 3 and 4) builds on Level One and focuses on applying the 6 ‘I’s® Model on an Innovation Challenge, covering a variety of tools and techniques to facilitate groups of people to innovate; and how to embed innovation into the culture of the team or organisation.
The 6 ‘I’s® Certification Programme is designed for facilitators, consultants, trainers, practitioners, innovation champions and managers interested in:
Supporting individuals to understand their innovation strengths and develop new skills
Working with teams to innovate – creating new products, services and processes
