This Innovation and Design Thinking program develops the concepts of innovation, intrapreneurship, and design thinking over two days of interactive, hands-on learning and skills development.  When we think of innovation, we often focus on the realm of products – shiny, larger, smaller, faster, connected products. More often, an innovation focus gives us the ability to improve processes, services, and even our business model and the way the firm behaves and competes.  Intrapreneurship is the practice of driving innovation within existing organizations and operations, adapting to evolving conditions, customer needs, and societal change.  Design Thinking is an innovative, human-centered, rapid prototyping approach that helps tap into creative potential.

What You’ll Learn

  • Innovation Sprints, Storyboarding, and Design Thinking.
  • Aligning ideation and creativity to customer needs.
  • Identifying and freeing up the resources necessary to support new initiatives.
  • Translating ideas into execution and action.

  • Developing rapid prototypes to evaluate and communicate proposals.
  • Building an innovation culture.

Queen’s is consistently ranked among the best in the world. You can find average salaries and graduation rates on CourseCompare and on Smith’s website. The numbers speak for themselves.

But the best things about Queen’s are the people, the community and the networks. You will probably have fun here while meeting the future CEO of a tech startup or leader in finance and consulting. QC doesn’t set up internships for you and you will have to find one on your own, but recruiters are always on campus and profs are in your court and available to help you. There are also 40+ clubs to join where you can meet amazing people. There are regular conferences happening that attract first-rate speakers, and the exchange program is amazing and not one to be missed.

Queen’s and Ivey at Western are both excellent, but I chose Queen’s because it’s a 4-year program. Ivey begins in year three and I didn’t want to have to compete to get in and then make friends halfway through my undergrad experience.

To summarize, Queen’s is where future business leaders are being taught. The community is second-to-none and the career results speak for themselves.

The program gave me an edge in my day-to-day business dealings and ultimately boosted my confidence to take my family business to the next level. I loved the videoconference technology. It felt as if you were right there in the front row of the class, and the professor– student interaction was wonderful. This program is not for the faint of heart, but I couldn’t imagine where I would be today without it.
