Innovation is vital for personal, professional and organisational success. Building on the themes from Strategic Leadership, the second Executive Agenda course, Innovation, provides students with a learning environment in which they develop knowledge and skills to respond to business challenges in innovative and transformational ways. The course approaches innovation from two perspectives. Students acquire knowledge and skills from the field of strategy to create and evaluate business opportunities. At the same time, students further enhance their strategic leadership capabilities through structured activities and experiences focused on creating innovative mindset.

The course adopts a blended approach to teaching, whereby students complete a series of self directed and facilitated activities online in conjunction with an intensive 4 day residential program held on the UNSW Campus.
