The context
In recent years, the word innovation has also become a buzzword that is missing on almost every company brochure. However, in many companies the reality of innovation differs significantly from the contents of glossy brochures, and there is not much to see of a consistent culture of innovation and an effective ability to innovate. On the other hand, in this VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) – world, especially the new products, processes and services are necessary competitive advantages for companies.
In many industries, only those companies are already successful that continuously improve their products and services in a visibly innovative way. But there is another reason for the development of an innovation culture in companies: Employees are given important additional skills to independently initiate future changes and to view these changes as an opportunity and not as a burden.
Future Competence Innovation
Whether as an internal innovation coach or an external trainer, consultant or coach – a certified Innovation Coach knows about effective methods, overcoming innovation blockers and the necessary changes on the way to an innovative corporate culture.
No matter if it is about process or product innovations, a powerful communication culture or the generation of ideas.
More than a creative trainer.
Creativity techniques are important – but even more important is the change in the mindset of the organization. Therefore, the training to become an Innovation Coach does not only focus on brainstorming, but also on conveying know-how and principles for the development of innovation culture.
More than just Design Thinking.
Design Thinking is a great tool and therefore an essential part of the Innovation Coach training. However, there are other methods and ways of thinking that are relevant for the development of innovations and therefore an important part of a comprehensive training.
More than just pure know-how.
When participants talk enthusiastically about the training to become an Innovation Coach, it is above all the density of experienced practical examples that is mentioned again and again. This ensures that the content can really be applied to your own projects.
For whom?
The Innovation Coach training is ideal for all those who want to influence the innovative strength of teams and companies in their professional environment, whether as an employee or external expert.
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 thinking about 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.
Requirements
The only requirement for participation in the Innovation Coach training is a basic knowledge of working with groups. Neither in the Innovation Professional nor in other parts of the training basic moderation skills are taught.
Our expertise
In the training as an Innovation Coach, you benefit directly from the practical experience of both founders Benno van Aerssen and Christian Buchholz, who have accompanied more than 2,000 innovation projects in 25 countries over the last 20 years.

Book tip
