      Program themes

      • Incremental and discontinuous innovation are not opposites, they are partners
      • We love our customers, but we are always out of equilibrium with them
      • We might serve our customers better by talking with people who are not our customers, and never will be
      • Good ideas do not just rely on experts, they require non-experts as well
      • Innovation thrives when ambiguity is both reduced and enlarged
      • Creating value is not the same as capturing value
      • Wide-ranging creativity requires discipline
      • Bottom-up entrepreneurial innovation thrives under strong, self-confident, top-down leaders

      Let your peers teach you too

      Throughout the whole program, you take part in wide-ranging and challenging discussions, intensive group projects and live case studies. The program design gives ample opportunities for rich interaction with faculty and among peers.
