Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will it take me to complete the Purpose-Driven Innovation course?

By being completely pre-recorded, the course is suitable for professionals who need to balance their busy schedules with self-paced learning. We recommend users take a week per module (there are five modules), studying for about two hours each working day. This means a minimum learning requirement for the entire course would be 5 weeks x 5 working days x 2 hours = approx. 50 hours.

How much time will it take me to complete the AI-Driven Innovation course?

The course takes around 4 hours to complete, but you can go at your own pace. We recommend tackling one module per week to give yourself time to apply the insights.

Do the courses include any 'live' elements?

No. The courses are self-paced and pre-recorded, meaning you can go through any modules whenever it fits you, all by yourself. Throughout the courses' modules you are of course more than welcome to reach out to any of our Trend Analysts who will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Did you use AI to create any of the courses?

Yes! We followed a Centaur framework to create the AI-Driven Innovation course—all content was created by our team of humans, with the support of AI tools, and it's presented by Quinn, our AI avatar. A true human-AI collaboration.

What language(s) are the courses delivered in?

Our videos and materials are primarily in English.

For the Purpose-Driven Innovation course, we have added optional Spanish and Portuguese subtitles, while all downloadable bonus materials now also come in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The current version of the AI-Driven Innovation course is in English. But v2 is in the works and will be hyper-customizable — including support for dozens of languages. Stay tuned!
