Overview

As the instructor of Innovation and Creativity Skills for Managers, I designed this course to help leaders like you unlock breakthrough ideas and drive innovation across your teams. In today’s fast-changing world, creativity is no longer a bonus—it’s a core leadership skill. Throughout this course, I’ll guide you through a complete toolkit of innovation models, creativity frameworks, and strategic techniques that managers can apply immediately in the workplace.

We’ll begin by exploring what innovation and creativity really mean in a business context, then dive into proven theories like the Diffusion of Innovation, Disruptive Innovation, and Open Innovation. You’ll gain hands-on experience with tools like mind mapping, SCAMPER, design thinking, and TRIZ. I’ll also show you how to create an innovative culture, use human-centred design, apply lean startup principles, and lead change effectively.

This course isn’t just theory—it’s filled with practical strategies to foster continuous improvement, empower employees, overcome resistance, and measure the success of your innovation efforts. If you're ready to transform your leadership style and inspire creative thinking across your organisation, this is the course for you

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
