Misk Art Institute is excited to announce a new opportunity in association with the Royal College of Art to provide unique educational opportunities for Saudi nationals. As part of our mission to provide creatives a fresh approach to their research, development, and creative process we are offering sponsored placements to attend the RCA's online executive short course Unleashing Innovation. 

Led by Dr. Nick de Leon, Unleashing Innovation is a unique course created for innovation leaders, entrepreneurs, and creative disruptors who aspire to deliver impactful solutions that transform their organizations, the value their solutions deliver to their customers and reshape the markets they serve. The pandemic has meant that almost every form of interaction with customers, and with your own workforce, has changed. Organizations are needing to transform their products and service for the new normal and do so fast and at scale, while managing risk.

In this course, you will learn how to turn compelling concepts into exciting new business ventures with robust and investable business plans, capable of delivering sustainable growth. The course will enhance your capacity to innovate services, systems, and customer experience. It will show you how to exploit emerging technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Robotics, new materials, and advanced manufacturing techniques to reshape markets and propose truly disruptive solutions that deliver transformational and differentiated offerings to your clients and the communities you serve.

"We are in an era of dramatic change, at the threshold of a very different world. Organisations need to unleash the innovation capacity of their own resources, as well as draw upon creative talents outside to cross that threshold and prosper. Whether you are an innovation leader in an established company or creating a new business venture to commercialise your innovation, this course will help you achieve that goal." - Dr. Nick de Leon, Royal College of Art.
