Description
***This is an online Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) course.***

This course is restricted to DoD government civilian and military students only.

Key Outcomes: This course is designed to inspire you and your peers to think outside the box and recognize your capacity for innovation and creativity.
  • Bring your most vexing organization problem/challenge statement.
  • Embark on a journey of self-exploration and practice with innovative tools and methods.
  • Engage in various simulations and explore radically different thinking tools to generate breakthrough ideas for your team or organization problem/challenge statement.
  • Experience the power of collaborative learning in an IPT setting.
  • Depart this course equipped with new tools that generate fresh thinking to address your most vexing challenges.
There is an old saying in the military that states, “train as you fight.” This course was reimagined with that theme in mind. Expect to work in a small group setting with peers from various acquisition functional areas and industry partners, in an Integrated Product Team (IPT) setting. The course concludes with an Apex Exercise, where you will apply the knowledge gained from simulations and apply those techniques to your problem or challenge statement. Roll up your sleeves and experience first-hand innovation techniques to develop new breakthrough ideas.
