Course information

Innovation is a major part of business success. But what is innovation and how can you innovate? Can anyone do it in business or everyday life?

We think the answer to that question is yes, and we want to help you discover how you can innovate by sharing a simple process with you: four exploratory steps, creative but also realistic, designed to wake up the potential innovator in all of us.

MOOC Creative Box course is open to everyone, free and accessible online.

This course offers two types of certificate from ESSCA, a French prestigious business school. It is taught by a teacher keen to pass on cutting-edge knowledge to as many people as possible and richly illustrated with real-life examples. You will be invited to learn from interviews with big businesses and young entrepreneurs from startups.

To go further, we would recommend our short programs of ESSCA Online Campus to obtain ECTS credits and learn with a personnalised support during live sessions.

What a great way to deepen market analysis opportunities thanks to the Creative Box MOOC. A short and intense course filled to put on track own ideas and learn from others thanks to practical examples and remarks from peers.

A very nice way to structure theory and practice in a short time span. Good division of duties between the videos, quizzes and interviews. Creating a service from scratch thanks to the persona and product development was a stimulating experience. Applied immediately in my own practice!
