University Partnership
We are thrilled Colorado State University-Global Campus (CSU-GC -- online programs from CSU) chose to work with us on the development of two innovation training courses. It is important confirmation about the quality of our materials.
CSU-GC is using materials we created as part of our NPD body of knowledge in their undergraduate "Strategic Innovation and Ideas" course. This is a free (yes, that is free!) open enrollment course -- learn more and sign-up quickly for the next offering here.
Also, CSU-GC is offering a graduate course based on our innovation concepts found in CIL. The course, MGT572, is only available to graduate students enrolled at CSU-GC. For information about enrolling for this course from CSU-GC, see this website.
What Customers Say
I enjoyed the ease of learning and amount of information I received in a fairly short amount of time. I feel well-prepared and confident to take the NPDP test.
Workshop ParticipantExtremely beneficial! Thank you for a great experience.
Study Group ParticipantThe program provided much needed structure. It gave me guidance on how and what to study for the exam. The program successfully pulled together the various authors and material in a sequential order, emphasizing the key areas.
Kirsten EvansI was skeptical that you could institutionalize innovation. I now see the way ahead. Thanks!
Robert P.This course provides a coherent summary of the recommended NPDP literature. I do not think I could have passed the exam without the reviewing the concepts covered in the materials.”
Andre PowellThe study group is critical for maintaining momentum during the exam preparation process. Through the interactions with fellow students, the topics are placed into real-world context, and important friendships and professional contacts are made.
Bryce BoltonI highly recommend certification through the study group process. The provided materials really paint the big picture. I also highly recommend that you don't stop learning after you are certified. Certification is just the beginning of the journey.
