Innovation Coach

Comprehensive innovation qualification with integrated practical phase

Key aspects

The certification as “Innovation Coach” includes all 3 modules Innovation Professional, Innovation Master, Innovation Facilitator. In addition, an in-depth practical phase is the core of this overall certification.

While the 3 modules focus on the transfer of knowledge and tools, the entire Innovation Coach training focuses on the ability to support other people in developing a lively innovation culture and professional innovation ability.

This requires an intensive examination of concrete innovation topics in practice. For this reason, the practical phase of the training includes accompanying the participants in a concrete innovation project over a period of max. 12 months. This mentoring program is supervised by verrocchio founders Benno van Aerssen and Christian Buchholz.

The certification as an Innovation Coach therefore not only has a high quality and range of content, but also a proven sustainability, which is unique in the market.

Content

You participate in the modules Innovation Professional, Innovation Master and Innovation Facilitator. Each module takes place 1-3 times per year. You will find the dates on the respective page. You are free to choose – take the training days that suit you best.

Each participant chooses an individual practical project in his company that fulfills a concrete, relevant innovation goal.

Examples can be:

  • Moderation of an innovation project
  • Conception and establishment of an innovation room in the company
  • Development or adaptation of an innovation tool
  • Design and implementation of an internal innovation campaign
  • Conception and implementation of innovation seminars
  • etc.

This project must fulfil a concrete benefit for the participant or the organization and at the same time demonstrate the participant’s competence in implementation

All participants of the certification have a personal mentor in Benno van Aerssen or Christian Buchholz for the duration of the practical project, who answers individual questions as a sparring partner.

Monthly online video coaching sessions are also held. Here each participant has the opportunity to present the current status of his or her project and discuss it with both mentors and the other participants.

In the online video coaching sessions, participants get together in smaller groups to provide targeted and individual answers to the participants’ current questions about the practical project.

We meet with the group on 2 dates during the project phase for a colloquium.

At the halfway point of the in-depth practical phase, the interim statuses of the individual projects are presented in order to obtain feedback from the group and to adjust the direction of the project. Past challenges can be reflected on together, upcoming hurdles can be solved together.

The second day is held at the conclusion of the project, tentatively at the end of the year in December. The final presentations show the summary of the successfully completed project. With the handing over of the certificate “Innovation Coach” the following celebration can start.

All participants receive an unrestricted FLIP PREMIUM access worth 399 EUR for the period of certification. If the participant should already possess this, the already paid time is extended by the 12 months.
