Frequently Asked Questions

Program Benefits

How is this program different from others?

This program is different for three reasons. First, the Enterprise Innovation Toolkit blends online learning and hands-on coaching with an ever-expanding collection of practical tools. Second, it's delivered by one of the world's leading product, design, and innovation firms. Third, the program is designed to train entire teams to boost collective capability within an organization.

How long do learners have access to the program?

Learners have lifetime access to all content, including future updates or expansions.

How are progress and participation monitored?

Internal (organizational/team) champions can view learner progress and participation in a real-time dashboard. They also receive a success report at the end of each cohort’s program.

What kind of support is provided?

Internal (organizational/team) champions receive extensive materials and 1-on-1 support from an Eito program lead to ensure they have everything needed to ensure success. Learners can access Eito’s senior consultants during the program in hands-on coaching events. Afterward, champions and learners are invited to an exclusive LinkedIn community where the Eito team supports continued learning and practice through live events and more.

Can the learning platform be customized?

Yes. Organizations and teams can add their own branding (colors and logo) and content (such as documents or custom workshops) to the platform.

Learning Experience

How much time is required to complete the program?

Both the cadence and duration of training are entirely flexible and based on your organization’s and learners’ needs. Two popular options are intensive bootcamps and a micro-learning (1–2 hours per week) mode.

How do the live coaching events work?

Hands-on coaching is a core component of the program. In these events, each learner applies what they’ve learned in real-time practice sessions while benefiting from peer feedback and (optionally) guidance from Eito’s senior consultants. Depending on your organization’s preference, events are hosted by Eito or your internal team.

Who are the instructors and coaches?

The on-demand learning experience and live events are designed and delivered by Eito’s senior consultants: the same team that partners on innovation, product, and design projects with some of the world’s most recognized brands. Each of our senior consultants has at least ten years of experience in the subjects covered in the program.

Do time zones matter?

Not at all. Everything in the Enterprise Innovation Toolkit, including live events, is available worldwide and can accommodate learners in all time zones.

What tools are needed to participate?

For independent learning, only a web browser is required. Access to Zoom, Teams, or Webex alongside Miro or Mural are needed for the live events.

Program Audience

How many people from my organization should participate at the same time?

You’re welcome to include as many people in your organization as needed. We recommend a cohort size of 15 to 50 people; multiple cohorts can participate simultaneously. If you’d like to organize something for fewer or more people, get in touch.

Should we train a whole team or function, or cross-functionally?

We recommend that cross-functional teams and other frequent collaborators participate in the program at the same time. This allows learners to reinforce learning through shared, real-world application. Training functional teams is, however, still highly effective.

Purchasing

Is a subscription required?

No. Instead, each learner is provided lifetime access to the program for a one-time license fee.

Can I sign up as an individual?

Not at this time. The Enterprise Innovation Toolkit currently focuses on organizations that wish to train groups.

Can my organization purchase individual masterclasses?

Not at this time, as each masterclass in the program is intended to complement and build on the others.
