Idea Champions corporate cretivity
True Corporate Education
Higher Learning + Higher Yearning

If your company has identified innovation as a core competency for high potential managers and business leaders, Idea Champions can help. Our highly praised Applied Innovation workshop is a simple, effective, and time-tested way to help your company's movers and shakers go beyond the status quo and catalyze a dynamic culture of innovation.

Bottom line, we take the "no" out of innovation. The tools, techniques, and skills we teach, coupled with the inspiration we unleash, greatly increases the odds of participants actually innovating on the job.

As Duke Corporate Education recently noted:
"Idea Champions' highly engaging approach, combining creative energy and business practicality, is a real winner. Their process and practical tools helps people experience innovation in the moment, and more importantly, enables them to apply the learning back home with their own teams."
Mike Canning, Managing Director, Duke Corporate Education

Taught by Mitch Ditkoff, co-Founder and President of Idea Champions, Applied Innovation is highly customizable and can be delivered as a 3-hour, 4-hour, 6hour, or full day session.
