Turn Data Into Client Impact — Starting Week One
By completing the Innovation Management Accreditation, you earn the right to act as an Innovation360 Licensed Practitioner — a globally recognized expert who assesses, measures and transforms organizations using the world's most advanced evidence-based innovation methodology.
From day one you access InnoSurvey®, covering 10,000+ companies across 105 countries. You present hard numbers and evidence-based recommendations that win business away from the world's largest consulting firms.
Endorsed by the World's Leading Thinkers
The Innovation Management Accreditation is built on a five-volume research series and WSJ bestselling books with forewords from some of the most recognized names in innovation, business and science.
Innovation by Design
“Read this book, learn how to improve your innovation process, and enjoy the ever-brighter future — here on Earth, and in space.”
Play Bold
“Wow! Everything that Magnus says is somewhat contrary to our official positions on successful innovation. I knew I had to read this book — and I’m very glad that I did.”
Sustainable Growth & Profits
“His book comes with a warning: radical innovation happens in surprising ways and places, so we better start to play bold. What are you waiting for?”
How to Assess & Measure Business Innovation
“Play Bold is very critical to nourish the courage for taking that first step into the future — futurizing. Fear is the opposite.”
