The complete IMBB Innovation Management Black Belt™ program
The self-paced program offered here is just the first step in your Innovation Certification Program journey, a stepping stone toward one of the most prestigious innovation certifications in innovation management—the IMBB. People like the former CTO of NASA, the former global practice lead of the McKinsey & Co Innovation Program, and many more will guide you as you follow this professional development path.
To earn the IMBB, you will progress from Basic Accreditation, focusing on the internal part of a company (strengths and weaknesses), to the Yellow Belt, focusing on infrastructure (creating an internal innovation management system and building the organization), to the Green Belt, which examines the external, global context, scenario planning, strategy development, and defining the right innovation initiatives. The final stage, the IMBB, is earned after you present two cases and successfully complete an online exam.

- Instructor-led training (online), and a full live program
- A personal Key Account Manager (KAM)
- Access to webinars
- Access to the community
- Support for pre-sales, consulting , and other related activities
