Innovation and Entrepreneurship

There are those who are content with the way things are, and then there are the change-makers. The visionaries. The bold challengers of the status quo and the brave leaders who pave the way into uncharted territory.

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program is for those change-makers. Stanford will teach you a radically different way of thinking that will power your inner drive to have impact and make a real difference in your company. Learn actionable tools (not just theory) from world-renowned experts in leadership, design thinking, workplace dynamics, and more. Don't wonder what's next. Lead what's next.
