Important to know

The Innovation Coach training is ideal for all those who want to influence the innovative strength of teams and companies in their professional environment.

There are both internal innovation coaches, who, as employees in the company, strengthen the innovative ability from within, and external, independent innovation coaches.

No matter if executive, trainer, consultant or business coach – as a certified Innovation Coach, the participants become experts for implementation-strong innovation management.

Tip: As a consultant, coach or trainer, it is worth considering whether and how the additional expertise as an Innovation Coach can be combined with your existing expertise. This has already resulted in many exciting positions.

For your colleagues and customers, whether internal or external, you will be the expert for creative methods and innovation know-how in the future.

Your knowledge will support your employees in many areas of the company and will put you in the position of a sought-after colleague and consultant.

With the different modules of the training you can even focus on different focal points, which pay particular attention to your individual situation such as:

• Spreading an open mind set
• Development of team creativity
• Help with idea evaluation and filtering
• Development of new business models
• Gain exciting customer insights
• Expansion of your methodological competence
• or, or, or, or…

The certification as an Innovation Coach is always a valued component in your personal and professional further education.

Benno van Aerssen and Christian Buchholz guarantee in all modules an exciting mix of many knowledge modules, practical exercises and lots of concrete stories from more than 2000 innovation projects and workshops.

Both lecturers also appreciate it when the participants ask a lot of questions. In the end, only questions lead to a direct transfer into your own practice.

The Innovation Coach training was developed by Benno van Aerssen, idea finder, coach for innovation management, book author and keynote speaker, and Christian Buchholz, international management trainer and specialist for leadership and communication.

Through this double, internationally shaped expertise, important components of a powerful innovation culture – methods, change and leadership skills – are included in the certification.

Both experts have clients in over 25 countries and experience from over 2000 innovation projects, from which the participants benefit directly.

Which modules are interesting for you depends on your personal goals. You are welcome to talk to Benno van Aerssen or Christian Buchholz in advance to clarify the situation for you.

In general, the Innovation Professional is designed for developing and evaluating ideas in workshops with colleagues or customers.

If you as a manager or external consultant want to move the innovation culture and participate in the development of new business models, we also recommend the Innovation Master.

In order to participate in the Master’s program, you must first complete the Professional.

We recommend the Innovation Facilitator to all those who would like to expand their moderation and facilitation knowledge – they also need to have completed the Innovation Professional first.

We will coordinate the dates together with the participants as soon as all bookings have arrived and only then will we know which time zones the participants are coming from.

In addition to the three modules Innovation Professional, Innovation Master and Innovation Faciliator, our Innovation Coach full certification includes an in-depth practical phase with an individual practical project.

All modules of the Innovation Coach training as well as the in-depth practical project can be booked individually or as part of the overall certification at a special price.
