Testimonials
Prof. Anshuman's curriculum was carefully crafted to provoke us to think. The diversity of case studies selected, and the quality of questions discussed made it more like a workshop. It helped put a lot of things into perspective and to approach innovation as a means to gain strategic advantage. Creating an innovation pipeline with a mix of breakthrough, platform and derivative projects (business models & technology) and a self-sustaining organisation design were the key take away for me. Would recommend this for business owners and teams architecting their organisation's strategy.
