Experiential Innovation & Relationship-Centric Offerings (EIP)

This certification program, that has been designed for individuals involved in managing or sponsoring the innovation process in any size organization, explores different forms of innovation by breaking free from the confines of products and channels to design offerings based on the desired outcomes sought by customers. Creating a colossal shift from "What a customer buys" to "What value is created for the customer" changes the framing for innovation focused on solutions and the quality of the relationships that emerge while helping customers to achieve their desired outcomes. Based on Senteo’s methodology and the principles of the best seller "The Experience Economy" by Joe Pine and Jim Gilmore, this program presents an effective and entertaining delivery approach with videos, engaging exercises, case studies, and many real-world examples.
