CCInO certification is for executive-level business leaders who desire or intend to take on the role of Chief Innovation Officer within a business (or
an equivalent executive role), and thus wish to develop a deeper insight into the structure and operation of Enterprise Innovation Programs (programs
designed to deliver sustained, enterprise-wide innovation). This person will in most cases work at the executive level building, leading, and expanding the
business’ own innovation program.
CCInO certification is intended for seasoned business executives with substantial business experience. If one has less than seven years’ experience working in
Innovation or a related area, they should first seek CInP and/or CInS certification and at least four years’ experience working in Innovation or a related area
prior to pursuing CCInO certification.
The training associated with CCInO certification is designed to impart a deeper understanding of the core elements of Enterprise Innovation. This includes:
understanding Strategic Innovation; Innovation Strategy (Pathways, Vehicles, and Portfolios); structural market changes and Responsive Growth Strategy;
Enterprise Innovation Architecture (Foundations, Procedures, Financing, Enablers, Engagement, and Reinforcement); Management and Workplace
Innovation; Core Innovation Groups; Innovation Spaces; focused Innovation work; and Innovation Maturity.
