Beyond the core: approaches and methodologies to explore new opportunities for launching innovative products and services, changing business models and innovating processes.
Step 4 - Exploration and experimentation
This phase represents the application core of the Master. This is a key time to confront real projects, face concrete business innovation challenges, and touch on the processes and strategies that can lead a business to change, grow and develop.
