New value models, innovation systems and growth — for leaders who must reinvent before the model expires.
A Message from the Dean of Academics
“Every business model has a shelf life. The leaders who endure are those who can reinvent how their organisation creates and captures value — and build the innovation system to do it again and again.”
— Office of the Dean of Academics, Rusel School of Business & Technology, UKA high-intensity weekend programme for leaders and teams — two six-hour sessions (with an optional third) on reinventing business models, building innovation systems and unlocking new growth. Available as an accredited certification or an executive masterclass.

Programme Snapshot
Everything a senior executive needs to know before enrolling — format, pedagogy, investment, and the capabilities you will walk away with.
What You Will Master
Five Core Capabilities
Sense
the shift — spot disruption, trends and threats to your current business model.
Reinvent
the model — redesign how you create, deliver and capture value.
Ideate
and test — generate, prototype and validate new offers with customers.
Build
the system — stand up an innovation portfolio, funding and operating model.
Grow
with intent — scale what works and produce a reinvention-and-growth plan.
Curriculum
Programme Sessions
Two six-hour sessions across one weekend, each half masterclass and half applied clinic — building one continuous piece of work: a reinvented business model and growth plan for your own organisation. An optional third session builds the innovation operating system to sustain it.
Disruption, Value & Business-Model Reinvention
Sense disruption and redesign how you create, deliver and capture value.
Innovation Systems, Experimentation & Growth
Build portfolios, experiments and funding models that unlock new growth.
Reinvention Lab & Innovation Operating System
Optional extension: lock in an innovation operating system for the leadership team.
Two Ways to Engage
This programme is built for targeted upskilling. Run it for an individual, a leadership team, or a whole innovation function — on a fixed calendar or stood up quickly when a new competitor, technology or stalling core demands a fresh growth model.
What You Leave With
This is not a theory seminar. In a single weekend you leave with your business model redesigned, an innovation portfolio drafted, and a growth plan pressure-tested by peers — plus a reusable reinvention playbook you can apply to the next opportunity.

How You Learn
Applied Clinics, Not Lectures
Pre-Session Preparation
An innovation case, a short briefing & a business-model self-assessment arrive ahead of the weekend, framed by guiding questions.
Practitioner Masterclass
Innovation strategists and founders teach the method, then show how it plays out in real reinventions.
Applied Innovation Clinic
Half of every session is hands-on — you work your own organisation’s model & growth, with faculty and peer feedback.
Cohort Peer Review
Peers across roles and sectors stress-test each other’s models, experiments and growth plans.
Assessment & Award
On the certification track, assessment is applied and cumulative — every component builds toward the same reinvention-and-growth plan, so nothing is busywork. The masterclass track is non-assessed and earns a certificate of completion.
