Understanding the innovation process

Since Innovation Academy’s inception, our goal has been to provide users with the content and resources necessary to understand the innovation process, and ultimately bring commercially viable innovations to market.

However, as the pace of innovation rapidly accelerates, accomplishing this goal isn’t something we can do in a silo. As such, we’ve created an Academic Board, complete with innovation experts who help us curate timely, actionable, and relevant courses for our users.

Meet the expert: Joe Sekhon

Our Lead Academic in Residence, Joe Sekhon, has been especially crucial to our course research and development process. As a Senior Lecturer in Intellectual Property (IP) at Portsmouth University, an entrepreneur, and the Founder of iPass (Intellectual Property Advice for Student Start-ups), Joe brings a wealth of know-how and expertise — both academic and real-world — to the table.

As our Lead Academic in Residence, Joe’s role includes:

• IP, R&D, and innovation-related course research and development
• Identifying and inviting relevant academia professionals to join our board and provide regional and international expertise
• Monitor research, trends, and new methodologies that may disrupt innovation

We look forward to working closely with Joe in the months ahead, and releasing an abundance of in-demand content and resources to help you accelerate your innovation journey.

If you’ve ever watched the TV drama House, then you’re familiar with how Hugh Laurie’s loveable rogue Dr Gregory House approaches complex medical issues and solves them in unexpected, highly innovative ways. Rather than looking through the lens of textbook medicine that focuses solely on past medical history and symptoms, Laurie investigates external factors that seem irrelevant or abstract. It’s these seemingly disparate details that lead Laurie to successful diagnosis — and ultimately the ability to save his patients’ lives.

In the same vein, this is how Connected Innovation Intelligence (CII) approaches innovation to help professionals accelerate the innovation process. Rather than looking at surface data alone, CII takes users beyond patents and uses tools such as AI-powered technology to comb through millions of global data points, segment them by industry and relevance, and connect them together in a way that makes sense.

We’d like to invite you to channel your inner Dr Gregory, and join us for our latest Innovation Academy course, Connected Innovation Intelligence: Beyond Patents.

In this interactive online course, you’ll learn how to:

• Connect disparate data
• Improve team collaboration
• Extract meaningful insights
• Fool-proof your innovations strategy
• Identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and more!

Register today and start learning now! Let us help you accelerate your innovation journey.

Curating new courses and certifications

You may have noticed various changes happening on our online learning platform, Innovation Academy. In addition to new branding, we’re also in the midst of curating courses that form the first series of certifications.

Knowing innovation is a complex, company-wide endeavor, our new curriculum features tools and best practices for all teams involved in the innovation journey. This includes legal, marketing, C suite, R&D, IP and more.

To kick things off, we launched ‘Patent Intelligence for Innovators, Inventors, Makers and More.’ Featuring 5 quick modules followed by a quiz, this short course was designed to provide users with a deeper understanding of patent data, and how to use it to extract meaningful insights and make more informed decisions.

Moving forward, we will be releasing one or two new courses each month. Our goal is to provide you with the resources needed to supercharge your innovation strategy, reduce risk, and bring commercially viable products and services to market. In addition, look out for updates on exciting partnerships and chances for our users to help shape our courses.

Enrollment for Patent Intelligence for Innovators, Investors, Makers and More is now open – access it today!
