Our tailor-made and unique Make-it Program™ (delivered under the license from the Academy of Innovation Coaching) is for companies who want to grow through creating new businesses and therefore need their executives and managers become Innovation Coaches who are able to methodically manage corporate innovation processes.
Typically, the Make-it Program™ starts with an introductory hands-on and very practical training session in a form of a 2-day internal workshop or bootcamp, for both managers and intrapreneurs. During this session we provide an overview of the Customer Centric Business Design™ methodology, including the toolkit, and help the participants to test it out on their own innovative new business ideas.
After the introductory session we organize a series of regular meetings either face-to-face or via Skype. Some meetings are with managers, some with innovation teams and some are joint meetings. This process usually takes 2-6 months. In those meetings we serve as Innovation Coaches for managers and their innovation teams and deliver upon an agreed innovation coaching plan.
We, as Innovation Coaches, help managers and intrapreneurs by asking appropriate questions along the roadmap laid out in the Customer Centric Business Design™ methodology, leading from an innovative new business idea to an investment decision in a new growth business. We don’t give answers but ask questions, allowing the managers and intrapreneurs arrive at their own answers and solutions, ensuring their buy-in and engagement in the innovation process.
During the Make-it Program™ participating managers will master the Customer Centric Business Design™ methodology and acquire the skills of innovation coaching, becoming better at leading innovation projects at their company as Innovation Coaches (optional certification by the Academy of Innovation Coaching: Innovation Coaching Certificate or Practitioner Diploma). The participating intarpreneurs will get experience in using the toolkit and acquire the skills of delivering innovation at their company, profitably.
