School of Applied Innovation

Get inspired and expand your innovation competencies.

Welcome innovator!

Do more, talk less. We approach innovation by experimenting, learning and constantly pushing ourselves to look beyond the obvious. And we want to share this approach with you.

In our School of Applied Innovation, we offer training modules adapted to the needs of today's innovators and change-makers. We offer courses tailored to your team's needs and open courses for everybody to join.

All our courses are available in English and German (and some in French as well). The demand for German courses is the highest, so you'll encounter some German text on this page.

A list of our learning activities with different higher education partners is further down the page.

What's your role in the game?

Leading innovation

Innovation means changing the status quo. Get ready to lead this change in a team or organisation and learn how to create an environment that fosters entrepreneurship and inspire a culture of innovation.

Möchtest du die Zusammenarbeit mit deinem Team bewusster gestalten, um das volle Potential zu nutzen?

Bereit für das nächste Level im Moderieren von effektiven Workshops?

Mehr Zusammenarbeit, weniger Missverständnisse. Nutze das Potential der Visualisierung, um in der Teamarbeit mehr Klarheit zu schaffen.

Doing innovation

Get stuff done. These modules are about implementation and getting hands-on with innovation. Learn the tools of the trade, boost and hone your skills as an innovator by practicing techniques that help you create the future.

Erfolgreiche Innovation dank vollem Fokus auf den Kunden. Die Basics von Human Centered Design / Design Thinking.

Schneller schlauer dank Prototyping. Bring deine Ideen in eine erlebbare Form und entwickle sie schnell und günstig mit Feedback weiter.

Lerne dein Hirn besser kennen und finde heraus, wie du mehr überraschende Ideen aus dir und deinem Team holst.

Lerne von deinen Kunden. Durch gut geführte Interviews kannst du die wahren Schätze der Kundenorientierung finden: echte Bedürfnisse.

Mit Value Proposition Design entwickelst du Angebote, die für deine Kunden relevant sind und Wert schaffen.

Die Kunst, Neugier zu wecken: fessle deine Zuhörer und setze mit klaren Botschaften Energie frei.

Deine Kunden haben bei jeder Interaktion mit deiner Organisation ein Erlebnis. Make it count.

Lerne Unsicherheiten und Meinungen systematisch zu überprüfen, statt endlos zu diskutieren, was passieren wird oder nicht.
