Environmental dynamism, competitive rivalry, globalisation, and technological change – these are all forces for economic development but also conspire to make even the most conservative and stable of business environments uncertain, ambiguous and difficult to navigate. So how do business leaders survive and thrive in these ‘gales of creative destruction’? One thing is for certain: they will need the ability to continuously adapt to this changing landscape. The Executive Education Programme from Warwick Business School aims to give managers the tools to do just this, enabling them to develop a strategic approach to innovation and entrepreneurship within their organisations.

The three-day programme is targeted at companies or individuals who are looking to ensure their organisation promotes an entrepreneurial and innovative mindset. This may include senior managers and executives, larger SMEs (50+ employees), mid-sized and larger organisations, for-profit, not-for-profit, and public sector organisations.
Dr. Ianis G. Matsoukas, Executive Director of the Global University Hub, Metropolitan College of Greece, stated:
“This is a proud next step in our ongoing mission to create the largest University Hub in South East Europe. We are excited to have this new partnership with Warwick Business School, promoting a strong culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. WBS combines world class research and breakthrough thinking, with practical skills and applicable learning; all the key ingredients that professionals need to become Change Makers and make a real impact, helping Greece to be the next major hub in innovation in South East Europe.”
Dr. James Hayton, Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Warwick Business School and Programme Director, stated:
“This programme will allow you to develop a strategic approach to innovation and entrepreneurship within your organisation, giving you the practical tools to apply straight to your work. There is no one way of doing this, but this course will give you the ability to identify the variables that matter and create the structure, processes and culture needed in your organisation to create an innovative and entrepreneurial company.”
The “Innovation Management and Corporate Entrepreneurship” Executive Education Programme is an immersive three-day Executive Programme. It provides practical and actionable learning, allowing participants to engineer processes toward innovation and not just execution. The focus will be on de-risking the process through small experiments, to fail fast and learn fast. Alongside innovative processes, participants will explore how to generate rewards for innovation, empowering teams and managers with the skills they need to engage in these behaviours. Over three distinct days they will learn both theory and practice, while working on their personal innovation initiatives. How they learn on the Programme will inform how they create specific outcomes for their organisation, and will include cutting-edge case studies, immersive interactive tools and peer-to-peer discussions.
More specifically, the Programme content includes the following:
Day 1
- Building strategic ambidexterity
- Adopting an ‘entrepreneurial orientation’
- Exploring your innovation value chain
- Seeing into the future(s)
Day 2
- Design thinking for better solutions
- Neutralise organisational ‘antibodies’
- Lean start-up for Corporate Entrepreneurs
Day 3
- Navigating new opportunities
- Building a holistic culture
- Creating an innovation supportive organization
Upon successful completion of the Executive Education programme, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from Warwick Business School, which can be shared with recruiters, employers, and professional and personal networks.
