Why become an Innovation Sprint Leader?

Being an Innovation Leader or Manager is a challenging and fulfilling role that involves facilitating innovative business outcomes through the use of diverse talent and resources within an organization.

The Innovation Leader serves as a guide, helping teams come up with bright and often disruptive ideas by teaching them how to follow the innovation process. This role is highly creative and in high demand, as reflected in the earning potential of Innovation Leaders and Managers.

It is important to note that while the Innovation Leader is not necessarily the innovator, they play a crucial role in facilitating innovation interventions and helping teams to innovate.

The median salary of an Innovation Manager is often even higher than a Scrum Master, the median in South Africa is ZAR1m, in the USA $ 132k in the UK £60k, and in Netherlands €86k. Figures from Glassdoor 20/04/2022.

Who should do this program?

Anyone can benefit from learning how to innovate, but those who are most likely to see the greatest benefits are sponsors of innovation and those tasked with managing the innovation process.

However, it is important to involve technical specialists from various parts of the organization, particularly those with a wealth of experience or unique insights, in the innovation effort. This ensures that the innovation process is well-rounded and draws on a diverse range of expertise and perspectives.
