Specialisation: Innovation
A specialisation for those who want to take ideas from potential to implemented solution.
Innovation with impact
Innovation is what shapes the businesses of the future – and, ultimately, society itself. New solutions, technologies, and business models drive growth, create jobs, and enhance competitiveness. Organisations capable of renewing themselves set the pace; those that cannot, lose their relevance.
Yet, many initiatives stall along the way. Ideas are developed, analysed, and presented – only to lose momentum when the time comes to prioritise, decide, and deliver. Potential remains unfulfilled.
The specialisation in Innovation is designed for those who want to change that. You will learn to identify and evaluate new opportunities, make decisive choices, and take ideas all the way from initial potential to implemented solutions. You will build your capacity to drive innovation with impact – creating solutions that transform both the business and the world around it.

Strengthen your CV
CBS is among the leading environments for business and innovation in Denmark. Here, you will not only learn to develop ideas – you will learn to analyse their potential, make decisive choices, and bring them to life. This provides you with both professional depth and a genuine advantage when new initiatives must be evaluated and decided upon.
The blueprint for execution
Organisations do not need more people who can merely analyse and plan – they need those who can drive momentum. If you cannot translate strategy and change into action, someone else will. And they will be the ones given the responsibility.
Elevate your authority
The ability to create and drive new business opportunities is closely linked to responsibility, budgets, and influence. When you can identify growth areas and see them through to implementation, you become eligible for roles with greater responsibility – and better pay. This is where your career truly gains momentum.
The Specialisation in Innovation is for those who:
✔️ Work in innovation or business development and need to analyse and mature new ideas into robust business cases.
✔️ Are responsible for developing new products, services, or business areas – and taking them from concept to implementation.
✔️ Make or influence decisions regarding which initiatives the organisation should commit to.
✔️ Must navigate ideas through the organisation and see them through despite resistance and competing priorities.
Educational journey
The specialisation is structured as a journey from opportunity to results: You begin by identifying and analysing new business opportunities – moving forward to selecting, developing, and implementing them, ensuring they generate tangible growth within the organisation.

“Innovation is a prerequisite for the development of our society. Growth, new jobs, and solutions to complex challenges arise when ideas are translated into reality. We therefore need leaders and specialists who can make decisive choices and drive momentum in innovation – for the benefit of both business and society.” Tina Blegind Jensen
Programme Director, Master of Business Development
