45-907 Innovator's Workshop

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Innovator's Workshop will take the methodologies and techniques from the Commercialization and Innovation: Strategy course and put them into practice. The course is held in workshop format, and consists of two components: 1) project working sessions. Students will select teams for the projects and will be required to provide regular progress updates as well as submit a plan that includes timelines and deliverables. 2) visiting speakers who will lead "real time case discussions" of their respective organizations and careers to provide insight into how innovation impacted their experiences and success. Student teams will be expected to do background research on the speakers and their companies prior to the class sessions and to participate actively in the discussion to identify best practices and strategies for commercialization of innovations
