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 in 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.
The Creative Box course is open to everyone, free and accessible online. It offers two types of certificate from ESSCA.
To go further, obtain ECTS credits and learn with a personnalised support during live sessions, we would recommend our short programs of ESSCA Online Campus.

Project
You can choose between two learning routes, depending on how much time you would like to commit.
- The Discovery Route will teach you how the innovation process works. You will be required to watch the teaching videos and take the quizzes. This will take you around one and a half hours per week. If you successfully complete the quizzes, you will receive a statement of participation.
- The Creative Route will allow you to experiment with the techniques and tools which are taught, and by the end of the course you will have come up with your own innovation. To take the Creative Route you must complete all the course activities; this includes watching the videos, taking the comprehension quizzes, submitting your own project and evaluating the work of other students. This will require a time commitment of around four hours a week, and you will receive a Certificate of Completion from ESSCA.
