The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest is partnering with Gregg Fraley Innovation (GFi) to host a series of six innovation-training masterclasses in 2020. The Jumpstart Innovation Learning Series seeks to train innovators and entrepreneurs in essential innovation skills. Participants are managers, project leaders, small business owners, and those charged with leading innovation programs.

The content of the sessions includes basic innovation skills and deliberate creative problem solving. Over the course of the series, more advanced topics in cutting-edge innovation strategy, branding, culture building, and project management are trained.

The Jumpstart Innovation Masterclass Series is offered as a subscription package, with each module advancing participant knowledge about innovation in a new way. However, participants can also buy a specific module of interest. Regardless if you join us one time of for the full season, participants will walk away with highly useful and actionable knowledge in theory, practice, and tools for starting up and running innovation programs.

The cost of the series is $599 for all six workshops. Purchased individually, the workshops are $149 each. Each all-day session will take place at the Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest in their Portage, IN meeting facility.
