About Organizational Leadership and Innovation

In a rapidly changing world, large organizations must adapt to thrive. Business as usual just won’t do. But how can established organizations adapt? By acting like startups.

In the Organizational Leadership and Innovation Course, you and your team have unexpectedly been invited to join the WISE Accelerator, where you'll take the reins of a potentially high-growth venture.

To make this venture a success you’ll need to understand your customer needs, conduct business experiments, manage finances, build out the team you need to launch a product in a competitive market, negotiate, pitch, and land key customers and convince internal stakeholders to back your product.

You’ll be supported on your journey by world-class instruction from Wharton professors and successful CEOs while getting continuous feedback on your performance to help you improve.

Learn how an established company can compete like a startup so that you can take the lead in real life and help your organization adapt, innovate, and thrive.
