In a world defined by turbulence, connectivity, and creative destruction, speed alone is no longer a strategy.
Many organizations have learned to optimize, few have learned to adapt.
Innovation is too often treated as a process or a department — when it is, in truth, a leadership discipline.
It demands the capacity to mobilize people across boundaries, to experiment in the unknown, and to turn learning into renewal.
This program was created for experienced leaders who are ready to move beyond frameworks and buzzwords
— and to learn how to make innovation work, from insight to impact.
The Collaborative Innovation Certificate combines scientific insight and field-tested practice to help leaders master innovation where it truly happens — in complex, dynamic environments.
Our approach draws from decades of research in economics, leadership, neuroscience, and innovation studies — and translates it into a learning journey that changes how you think, lead, and collaborate.
We don’t teach models to follow. We design learning experiences that change what you notice, how you decide, and how you act — ensuring that every participant leaves equipped to deliver impact in their own context.
From insight to impact is not a slogan — it’s the structure of the program.
Learn to identify the challenges that demand new thinking rather than technical fixes.
Develop the curiosity, systems awareness, and sensemaking skills that enable you to navigate uncertainty.
Build the capacity to lead beyond hierarchy — to create the conditions where people contribute ideas, challenge assumptions, and co-create solutions that scale.
Through immersive, structured experiences, you’ll observe innovation in action and translate what you see into practical moves for your own organization.
You return not just with inspiration, but with tested insights, a stronger network, and actionable opportunities.
You don’t just learn about innovation — you build the capability to make it happen.
Unlike a learning expedition, this program doesn’t take you to see innovation — it takes you to practice it.
Every interaction, visit, and dialogue is guided by a structured method:
observation → reflection → experimentation → application.
Experience new ways of framing innovation challenges. Engage with peers to explore how collaborative leadership accelerates transformation.
Immerse yourself in one of the world’s most vibrant innovation ecosystems — Southern China in 2026, followed by other global destinations in future editions.
Meet innovators, policy shapers, and ecosystem leaders. Decode what drives performance and extract the transferable lessons.
Consolidate learning and turn your insights into a concrete plan for your organization — ensuring that your journey leads to measurable impact.
It’s not a visit — it’s a transformation lab that takes you from insight to impact.
By the end of the program, you will have:
You return with more than inspiration — you return ready to lead innovation that works.
The Collaborative Innovation Certificate is for senior executives and experienced professionals who want to build real capacity for innovation — in themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
It’s particularly suited to:
Participants come from diverse sectors and geographies, creating a rich peer-to-peer learning environment where perspectives collide, ideas evolve, and leadership deepens.
Each cohort is intentionally limited to 25 participants to ensure depth, trust, and meaningful exchange.
The program is jointly delivered by École des Ponts Business School and Ascent Growth Partners, with contributions from regional innovation leaders and ecosystem builders.
Together, they bridge theory and practice — so you can bridge vision and execution.
