About this program
Large organizations are not bad at innovation because people lack creativity. They are bad at it because the systems around those people were designed to minimize variance, not generate it.
What this course covers
Participants learn a specific set of tools — design thinking methods, rapid prototyping approaches, assumption mapping, and structured ideation techniques — applied to real business contexts rather than hypothetical scenarios.
Each tool is introduced with its limitations explained upfront. Knowing when not to use a method is at least as useful as knowing how to run it.
Format and time commitment
Six weeks, with one 90-minute live session per week and approximately 3 hours of independent work between sessions. All sessions are recorded. Materials are available in Polish and English.
Practical orientation
Participants complete a mini-project across the course duration — selecting one real business problem and working through it using the tools introduced each week. The project is reviewed by peers and the course facilitator in the final session.
Background expected
No prior experience with innovation methodologies required. Participants should have at least 2 years of professional experience in a business context and be currently working in or adjacent to a team that makes decisions about products, services, or internal processes.
The course is deliberately not for people who want to study innovation in the abstract. It is for people who need to do something with it next quarter.
