Course content

Lead innovation from the inside

This stackable 6 week short course (microcredential) from Deakin University gives you the knowledge and tools to lead innovation within your organisation, including understanding internal motivations, and implementing strategies that anticipate, coordinate and manage resistance to change.

What you’ll learn

In this stackable short course (microcredential), you’ll:

• describe the drivers for and potential barriers to internal innovation (intrapreneurship)

• reflect on and appraise your personal experience of change to formulate strategies for leading organisational intrapreneurship.

Job outcomes

• recognise what drives innovation in your own organisation.

• reflect on your own experience of change to inform how you lead innovation in your organisation.

• devise strategies that support people and enable communication during change and innovation challenges.

How you’re assessed

The assessment task requires you to reflect on a recent change experience (2500-word reflective essay). You can choose either a change program or experience that you have led or one that you have been part of. It doesn’t need to be an organisational change; it could also be a personal change.

Co-designed with industry

This microcredential is co-designed with the International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship

Coventry University; Cathryn Nolan, Senior Knowledge Lawyer at Hall & Willcox; and Mark Cameron CEO of W3 Digital

Together, we’ve designed a course where you’ll gain skills that you can apply immediately in your workplace.

Stackable or standalone

This microcredential can be completed to receive a standalone credential or stacked together with related stackable microcredentials to build towards a full postgraduate Deakin degree later.
