Effective prioritisation is an integral part of any innovation management system. Whether we are considering choosing the best ideas, picking the best people, or the tweaking of the right process handles for process optimisation, a systematic approach to prioritisation is essential. In this one-day programme, you’ll learn about the theories behind effective prioritisation and, through examples and exercises, be introduced to a range of tools, from simple to comprehensive, which can be immediately deployed in your organisation to improve your prioritisation effectiveness.
This Prioritisation for Innovation Programme will cover the following topics over the day:

"A great short course that is pitched at the right level for those new to these disciplines. Well delivered and good levels of interactivity.”
"I found the course very useful; I am already loaded onto the 2 remaining courses and have told my colleagues about it already (they are loaded onto later courses). I look forward to taking innovation as far as I can and courses such as yours at IKE will surely help.”
"I liked that it was rigorous and intellectually stimulating but also presented in a style that was brisk, professional & engaging while not either talking down to the audience or assuming participants know things that they often do not.”
