Corporate Innovation and Leadership

Many managers know technology and data can help them ask smarter questions, make better decisions and formulate more effective strategies. But few of them know how, and with a large and diverse set of responsibilities, it's difficult for these professionals to spend years pursuing master's degrees.

The Stevens graduate certificate in Corporate Innovation and Leadership was designed with this audience in mind. In just four courses, managers and decision-makers can get immediately applicable insights in technology and innovation as they apply to leadership roles. Lessons in design thinking, collaboration and technology innovation will give managers powerful new tools that will improve their effectiveness in their current assignments and provide new perspective on their careers.

Required courses

The following courses are required to complete this certificate program.

This course deals with the theory and methods associated with design thinking, a problem-solving protocol that spurs innovation and solves complex problems. Design thinking involves a unique form of inquiry which goes well beyond product and service design. Students will develop an appreciation for design and develop skills for studying design systems. These concepts and methods have wide applicability as they can be used to design organizations of people, information structures, compensation systems as well as the entire consumer experience. Applying these approaches can often create entirely new systems that are more useful and usable. The logic of this approach can sometimes solve “wicked problems” which have defied previous solutions.

Innovative organizations are led by people who relentlessly nurture creative collaborations. These leaders stimulate imagination, teach others how to turn imagination into creativity, and build group structures and processes to enable people to turn creative ideas into innovations that drive business results. This course builds individual awareness of creativity and collaboration skills while increasing the student’s capacity for both. It teaches the science behind techniques, tools, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, organizational strategies, and environmental designs that increase group effectiveness.
