Event Summary

On May 20th and 21st the first of its kind “Innovation & CreativityCertificate Program” took place in Conrad hotel Sheikh Zayed Road Dubai, the program was hosted by Boston College University and organized by LEAD.

This is the 3rd of a series of highly innovative certificate programs to take place in Dubai by Boston College after the highly successful Innovative Leadership 2014 and Urban Innovation 2015.

The program was aimed at CEOs, Senior Executives, and Strategy Directors to help them transform their organizational cultures and teams into highly innovative, creative units, and was designed for managers with responsibility for organizational leadership and core missions, functions, products, and services by building a “tool-box” of skills and policies intended to promote successful innovative, creative organizations.
