Overview
Strategies for Spread and Adoption is for those who have nurtured their innovative thinking and have created an innovation. This can be anything from a physical product, service, a new way of working, or a systems change. The challenge now is to successfully spread the idea and ensure it is taken up by those who will benefit most. This course will help you take on this challenge!
There will also be opportunities to collaborate and network with other innovators and entrepreneurs. Many past participants consider these discussion opportunities to be extremely insightful and one of the best aspects of this programme.
We are pleased to offer 14 CPD hours upon successful completion of this course.
