Program

Leading and Managing Innovation

How did the program help me with my daily work?

This program completely changes the way I was thinking about Innovation in general. It demonstrated new ways to handle Innovation, new ways to harness ideas and input from others.

The Executive Education offers new perspectives and different approaches when dealing with the management of the Innovation. Everything that I have learned is applied in my daily collaboration with my colleagues from the Application and Software Engineering Unit that I am leading at NTT DATA when tackling new opportunities from the market.

What was the coolest thing I learned in the program?

For example, I have learned that the brainstorming method of gathering ideas is not optimal to say the least, crowd sourcing is far better.

What was the hardest thing I did in the program?

The hardest thing is to reset your brain and be open minded when confronted with new ideas and viewing angles of known problems.

What would I say to my best friend to convince him to go?

I would say this to anyone who wants to be part of this UBB program: join if you want to learn more about new approaches regarding innovation, join to get new definitions of Innovation, join to get a feeling of how American professors think and teach, join for a multi cultural networking, join to enrich yourself with loads of information. In conclusion, this program is not just a training program it is an Experience in itself.
