Innovation and Creative Leadership

Organisations across Africa face pressure to do more with less and to respond quickly to changing markets. This course helps managers create the conditions for practical innovation, generating fresh ideas from their teams and turning promising ones into workable improvements. The focus is on everyday innovation that lifts efficiency, service and morale rather than grand theory.
