THIS is how the Breakthrough Innovator's Accelerator will help you.
We’ve designed this online program to be highly practical, action-driven, and modular, so you can apply learnings directly to your innovation initiatives.
Here's the agenda of the Breakthrough Innovator's Accelerator Programme
Through six individual modules, each running over a two-week sprint, we will focus on one core topic. Primers will be researched and produced for you to understand the topic fundamentals. Then join a live online 90-minute masterclass facilitated by Rob Munro and with members of your cohort to discuss your experiences deepening the practical understanding. For the remaining time on the two-week sprint, interact daily with questions and discussions on the online platform. At the end of the Accelerator, you'll each receive a cohort-specific eBook and keep free access to the Circle for one year.

Find out whether this Programme is right for you
Your membership of the Breakthrough Innovator's Accelerator gives you free access to a new community of learning to provide innovation leaders with a trusted networking and learning space.
We keep our cohorts intentionally small to provide a highly interactive and personalised experience.
I guarantee you will walk away with a mine of insights focussed on helping you achieve greater innovation success.
I’m a founder and advisor to leaders of technology-intensive innovation working to help firms achieve greater innovation success.
I started Innovation Success in 2013 on the idea of innovation systems thinking to provide pressure relief for innovation leaders in complex technology-intensive organisations operating in the advanced manufacturing, energy, chemicals and materials supply chains.
And I'm excited to bring to you the Breakthrough Innovator's Accelerator. It's based on real-world experience - both mine and yours, and on relevant research into innovation and technology management. I've read all the books and academic papers and built this system for enhancing company innovation fitness.
I have 35 years of experience in the innovation space delivering to date 45 projects and an estimated $550m in new value created for clients.
“I became frustrated with the lack of pace and ambition in corporate innovation, so I founded Innovation Success to help other innovation leaders overcome the barriers; to innovate a better world."
