Stanford Graduate School of Business campus

Develop best practices and insights to generate and lead innovation in your organization; then put theory into practice with real-world projects.

Innovation isn’t just for startups. In fact, established organizations have even greater opportunities to innovate — from the incremental to the truly transformational. Driving Innovation and New Ventures in Established Organizations is the place to start.

This program combines the best of research-based curriculum and hands-on innovation. Dive in with real-time, faculty-led sessions and Q&A. Apply what you’ve learned and collaborate with other senior leaders by working on real-world innovation challenges. This is learning by doing; this is innovation in action.
