Why GInI?

There are countless sources that individuals and organizations can turn to in their quest for knowledge and insight – not to mention professional certification and business accreditation – in the field of Innovation. These range from universities, to consultancies, to professional societies, to any number of accreditation bodies. However, if you look truly deeply into their respective curricula – examining them critically – what you will discover is that those curricula generally fall into one of two groups – either practical and applied, or else academic. In addition, you will also find that inside these two groups, the caliber of the curriculum varies significantly.

When you do this, what you will discover is that:

  • GInI is the only professional certification and business accreditation body in the world whose curriculum reflects a very practical and applied business perspective and has been developed to the highest possible caliber.
  • GInI’s curriculum is developed and maintained by real-world business leaders – each of whom possess decades of experience leading and executing Innovation inside the real-world of their business environments.
  • GInI’s curriculum has been developed, and is maintained by, working business professionals for working business professionals – those who must take its knowledge and apply it to their everyday work and challenges. All other bodies offering professional certification and/or business accreditation in the field of Innovation approach the subject from a purely academic perspective. Their curriculum has been developed by academicians, resulting in content that is out of touch with the real-world pressures and challenges of the actual business environment. Their academic treatment of the subject is very much divorced from those realities, meaning that its value to real-world business leaders and professionals is extremely limited.
  • GInI’s curriculum, its professional certifications, and its business accreditations are all the only such programs in the field of Innovation reflecting a real-world treatment of the topic – what we refer to as Applied Business Innovation.

No other party in the world has the content and programs that GInI does – theirs do not even begin to approach that of GInI.

Global Innovation Institute stands alone… in a category unto itself – head and shoulders above all others.

Welcome to the new world of Innovation. Welcome to GInI.
