Exciting six weeks in the Strategic Innovation program at The Wharton School's online program led by Professor Harbir Singh. I liked the insights on separating exploitation and exploration activities in organizations. It is best to separate exploration from the daily business as these are radically different activities. Being creative in exploration is equally important as being disciplined in terminating projects that don't show results. We should intentionally decide on resource distribution to growth in Horizons 1 (growing core business), 2 (emerging business), and 3 (new ideas) buckets. Thank you, professor, for the class and Wharton Online for the unique alumni edition of it. #innovation #leadership #strategy

Are you tasked with leading strategic innovation in a rapidly changing industry? If you want to up your game and avoid potential pitfalls, I just completed and can recommend the 6-week certificate program "Driving Strategic Innovation: Leading Complex Initiatives for Impact" offered by Wharton Online. Through the examination of a number of case studies, Professor Harbir Singh provides valuable insights and useful frameworks on how to make use of partnerships, balance short term focus with strategic investment in R&D to drive leap frog innovation, outsource strategically, organize to drive bold innovation, utilize open innovation and ecosystems, exhibit key leadership traits and actions, commercialize products efficiently, and more.

🚀 Delighted to brag that I have successfully completed the Wharton certificate: 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒙 𝑰𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕! 🎓 A strategy that never leaves the drawing board is worthless. A strategy that fails to make an impact is meaningless. It takes vision, skills, and strong partnerships to overcome these challenges. The more you learn, practice with experienced coaches, and collaborate with industry experts, the more prepared and confident you become in building and executing strategies that truly make a difference. Throughout this journey, that is a part of my ongoing Wharton Executive Education Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Program, I have gained invaluable insights: 🔍 Methods for driving strategic initiatives, balancing exploration and exploitation within organizations, and developing partnerships to commercialize technological products. 🌐 How organizational ecosystems and open innovation for strategic initiatives can drive successful development in organizations. 💡 How large organizational initiatives can have an impact on areas outside the organization itself. A big thank you to the esteemed faculty and my fellow cohort members for their invaluable contributions and discussions. Looking forward to applying these insights to create impactful initiatives and drive sustained growth in the industry. #DeliverDeliverDeliver #DontKeepOnPaper #Wharton #StrategicInnovation #Leadership #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalGrowth Wharton Executive Education | CTO Program Wharton Executive Education
