Business Innovation Program

Where strategy
meets practical
execution

Organizations that rethink how decisions are made and products are built tend to outlast those that do not. This program examines the structural habits behind sustained business renewal — drawing from case studies across manufacturing, fintech, and services.

Eight modules, one thread

Each module builds directly on the one before it. The sequence moves from diagnosing what holds organizations back, through the mechanics of change, to sustaining momentum once initial enthusiasm fades.

Program curriculum structure and learning path
01

Diagnosing organizational inertia

Frameworks for identifying where decision-making slows and why established processes resist change. Includes a self-assessment tool used by over 40 companies in pilot testing.

2 weeks Case study
02

Market signal interpretation

How teams distinguish meaningful shifts from noise. Covers qualitative sensing, structured customer interviews, and the difference between leading and lagging indicators.

2 weeks Workshop
03

Portfolio logic for new ventures

Why betting on one big idea is structurally fragile. This module examines staged-gate investment approaches used by mid-market firms to allocate resources across uncertainty.

2 weeks Simulation
04

Cross-functional coordination

The structural gap between strategy teams and operational teams generates most execution failures. This module maps where handoffs break and how to redesign them.

2 weeks Role-play
05

Pricing as a strategic variable

Most teams treat pricing as a finance problem. Here it is examined as a signal, a positioning tool, and a lever for market shaping — with examples from SaaS, retail, and manufacturing.

2 weeks Live analysis
06

Metrics that mislead

Common KPI structures can reward activity over outcome. This module audits measurement systems and introduces alternative metrics aligned with innovation goals rather than efficiency targets.

2 weeks Audit exercise
07

Narrative and stakeholder alignment

New directions require internal buy-in before external execution. Techniques for communicating strategic shifts to boards, investors, and frontline staff without losing the substance.

2 weeks Presentation
08

Sustaining renewal past the launch phase

Most innovation efforts plateau after 12–18 months. This final module focuses on the cultural and operational conditions that keep learning cycles active when pressure to standardize returns.

2 weeks Capstone project

How the program runs

1

Weekly rhythm

Each week includes two pre-recorded lectures, one live discussion session, and a short reflection task. Total time commitment is around 5–6 hours per week.

2

Cohort-based learning

Participants work in assigned groups of 6–8 across all eight modules. Group composition is intentionally mixed by industry to widen the range of perspectives in every exercise.

3

Applied assessments

No multiple-choice exams. Each module is assessed through a brief written analysis or group presentation tied directly to a real organization — yours or one you select.

4

Certificate on completion

Participants who complete all eight modules and the capstone project receive a certificate issued by Nefudapris. The certificate includes a verifiable credential link for professional profiles.

84% of participants apply at least one framework directly to their organization within 30 days of completing the program
38 countries represented across all program cohorts since the first intake in 2023
6:1 average learner-to-facilitator ratio during live sessions, keeping discussion substantive

Who leads the sessions

V
Vera Holmqvist Strategy & Organizational Design

Vera spent fourteen years advising mid-market firms in Northern Europe on operational restructuring. Her sessions draw heavily on failure cases — companies that had sound strategies but poor execution architecture.

T
Tomás Aurelio Ferraz Market Design & Pricing

Based in São Paulo, Tomás works with consumer goods and logistics companies on go-to-market structure. He brings a practitioner's focus to the modules on pricing and market signal interpretation.

N
Nadège Osei-Frimpong Innovation Culture & Metrics

Nadège's background is in organizational psychology applied to product teams. She leads the modules on measurement systems and the cultural conditions that either support or quietly undermine new initiatives.

Upcoming cohort starts in March

Intake is limited to 48 participants per cohort to keep group work meaningful. Applications are reviewed in the order received; there is no waitlist once a cohort fills.
