In this training, the role of human in innovation and the formation of innovation culture will be discussed and the needs in the management systems necessary for the formation of innovation culture will be evaluated. The relationship between the concept of innovation, which is new to the agenda of businesses today, and the concepts of science, engineering, research, development and technology will be examined.
Education target
​With this training, participants will learn the following topics;
​
They will question themselves and their environment about the place of thinking, seeing and dreaming in innovation,
Question and understand the differences between the concepts of innovation, innovation management and innovation culture management,
They will examine the building blocks in innovation culture management and determine the place of Science and R&D in innovation by leading the Innovation Readiness Level in innovation management.
They will develop a different perspective on the concepts of problem, design and product,
With the studies to be carried out during the training, the awareness of the innovation culture in the institutions will be ensured to question the innovation perceptions by examining the information, products and technologies produced by the institutions.
They will be able to examine the conceptual and managerial contradictions that may arise with the existing R&D management in institutions and the innovation management that has become popular in recent years and develop solutions.
