Innovation Process

Our students follow a structured yet flexible approach that encourages creative thinking while maintaining academic rigor. Each phase builds understanding and confidence.

Problem Discovery Phase

Students spend the first few months identifying genuine gaps in financial analysis tools or methodologies. We encourage them to look beyond obvious solutions and question fundamental assumptions.

  • Industry research and gap analysis
  • Mentor consultations and feedback sessions
  • Feasibility assessment and scope definition

Experimental Development

The middle phase focuses on iterative testing and refinement. Students build prototypes, test theories, and often discover their original ideas evolve into something completely different – and better.

  • Rapid prototyping with real market data
  • Peer review and collaborative improvements
  • Technical implementation and testing cycles

Validation and Refinement

Final projects undergo rigorous testing against real-world scenarios. Students present their work to industry professionals who provide honest feedback about practical applications and potential improvements.

  • Real-world scenario testing
  • Industry expert evaluation panels
  • Documentation and knowledge transfer
