In this course you will learn how organizations manage the development of new products and services. We will go over the main tools used to manage innovation projects, how to develop radical innovations, and how to leverage external partnerships to develop novel solutions. Unlike most innovation courses, our focus will be on the practical and managerial side of innovation. By the end of this course, you will be able to understand how organizations manage innovative projects and how you can do it in your own organization.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.
