• The 5-day intensive course "Performance-Driven Innovation Management" provides the ideal basis in the area of innovation and transformation to be well-prepared for the challenges of our time. Many companies have great potential for innovation, but may not realize it or cannot provide the right tools required by their employees. With the intensive course of IPERF trainers made me aware of upcoming challenges while learning new ways of working to promote innovation. In particular, the versatility and professionalism of the speakers made the course truly enriching for me.

• The training provided me with a very clear understanding of the innovation process. All topics were well connected and integrated in the performance framework. That made the course easy to comprehend, logical, coherent and solid. It was a pleasure for me to dive into course topics with such a great team. Alexander, my colleague, and I were highly motivated after training, so, we immediately started developing a new company strategy using many powerful management tools and ideas from the course. Recently, we successfully presented our strategy to the C-level. Overall, a great training program, experienced speakers, interesting and fun practical tasks made it easy to dive deeply into the matter.
