Innokinetics stimulates creativity and a “do-it-yourself” spirit within the organisations it cooperates with. Innokinetics believes in a ‘train-the-trainer’ approach enabling the organisations to deal with future challenges by offering them innovation methodologies.

Learning Excellence

Learning Excellence is a research project in cooperation with the Antwerp University and supported by ‘Flanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship’. It is focused on the learning process of knowledge workers.

‘Learning Excellence’ states that the learning benefit of classic professionalization activities is below standard. Mapping the learning features of the knowledge workers by means of a scientifically substantiated ‘learning competencies monitor’,  the trainer of these professionalization activities can acquire insights that enable him to tailor his training to the specific needs and wishes of the participants. This way, he can make the learning benefit ‘excel’ beyond classic standards.
