The Innovation Accelerator A Business Incubator for Creative Thinkers
It's all about the dynamic process of turning ideas into money. The Innovation Accelerator is a unique mix of strategic think tank, creativity training, idea greenhouse, and business incubator that makes it easy for participants to accelerate the process of surfacing new ideas and turning them into products, services, and breakthrough ways of doing business. In the workshop, participants generate and develop a continuum of new ideas — from incremental to breakthrough — that increases their odds of making rapid progress on a variety of promising, new business opportunities. At the same time, participants sharpen their innovation skills and learn a variety of creative thinking tools that can be immediately applied on the job with their direct reports, teams, or senior leaders. Action oriented, practical, and inspiring, The Innovation Accelerator provides the perfect balance of divergent and convergent thinking — enabling participants to not only get out of the box and tap into new realms of possibility, but craft meaningful, post-workshop game plans that close the gap between theory and practice. Bottom line, Idea Champions' Innovation Accelerator yields high ROI — Return on Ideas — with payback year after year. 1. DAY ONE MORNING: Creativity Thinking Training 2.
