Welcome to the Institute of Professional Innovators (IPI), the premier organization devoted to providing individuals and organizations (for profit and nonprofit entities, including government agencies) with the knowledge, skills and tools required for gaining control over innovation. By being the first stage in any system (product, process, service) life-cycle, innovation predetermines to a large extent its future market success or failure, thereby determining the future of a respective organization.

The Institute offers the Innovation Certification Program, Innovation Executive Program, and Innovation Consulting Services. In addition, IPI has the Membership Program that offers services such as education, training, networking and recognition.

To help organizations reduce innovation-related risks and costs, establish innovation best practices, and identify those individuals who have demonstrated their ability to consistently deliver valuable real-life results, the Institute of Professional Innovators has created the first in the world history Innovation Certification Program. It  It is based on the General Theory of Innovation (GTI), a unique and powerful scientific theory that transforms the capricious art of innovation into a step-by-step process with a highly predictable and consistently successful outcome.

The content of the Certification Program is solely determined by the IPI's Certification Board. There are three levels of certification, each with its own requirements: Innovation Green Belt™, Innovation Black Belt™, and Innovation Master Black Belt™.

Clearly envisioning the challenges that the market will present in the future and shaping one’s company to address these challenges in advance is the single most important responsibility of an executive.

With today’s executives and their special responsibilities in mind, the Institute of Professional Innovators has created a unique Innovation Executive Program that will provide the decision-makers with scientific tools that enable precise identification of the upcoming market-based challenges as well as highly reliable forecasting of the future of products, services and the entire industries.

2-Day Executive Workshop "Strategic Innovation as a Science"
Venue: Detroit; May 19 - 20, 2008

Not all innovations are equal! The majority (80%) results in losses; a greater portion of the remaining ones fails to improve the creator's market standing; and just very few generate long-term advantage and sustainable growth; thus they are termed Strategic. This unique two-day Executive Workshop is designed to enable deliberate, continual creation of the Strategic Innovations.

The course has introduced a very logical process for predicting the future of the market and customers’ requirements. It will change my framework for approaching, recognizing and solving issues. I would absolutely recommend it to others.
