Innovation Certificate Program Testimonials
“Our organization signed up for the Online Innovation Certification course for the innovation project team members. As the online course comes with meeting time with Darin, the project team invited Darin to join the team meetings to provide insights and professional expertise on how we should structure our innovation workshops to make them interactive and engaging and develop a culture of innovation that is sustainable in the department.
We also engaged Darin to conduct a 4-hour Innovation Workshop in Chicago based on the project team’s requirements and Darin’s innovative approach. The workshop is a huge success!
I will not hesitate to engage Darin again for future innovation projects. His response to our questions is timely and always professional.”-Certified Innovation Facilitator Client in Singapore
“Darin is a great innovation mentor and guided the entire process very closely. The material and content he provided was extensive. It helped me understand the very basis of being systematically innovative and creating an innovative mindset. By stepping out of the usually day to day business, preparing content and doing exercises with the whole team, I learned the very essence of what it means to be innovative. From now on, whenever I see opportunities or problems causing inefficiencies, I know how to systematically work on creative, innovative solutions and concepts thanks to the innovation step-by-step program and Darin’s support.”

“If you are looking to experience a learn-by-doing Innovation Course, look no further. You will learn necessary innovation theories and concepts, but more importantly, you will undertake a real-time Innovation Challenge under Darin’s guidance.
I found the breadth of the program comprehensive and more importantly, compatible with my learning and facilitation style. The learn-at-your-own-pace format suited my busyness, but more importantly, Darin took my online enrollment personally. We had a chat at the start of the program and conclusion of the program, but I have always found Darin to be just an email away whenever I had questions both big and small.”-Certified Innovation Facilitator Client in Australia
