Hi
I'm into IT for the past 13 years and though I do IT consulting I am very much interested in Innovation consulting (Helping companies to come up with New Innovative Products/Business Models etc)
I am working in Capgemini but wanted to switch to Niche Innovation Consulting firms (like Innosight, DesignIT etc). In order to do that, I thought some good certificate will help me to get into niche innovation consulting companies. Right now I hold a Bachelors degree in Engineering. I don't want to leave job. Hence I have only 2 options considering online programs
1. HEC Paris - Masters in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (conducted through Coursera)
Course Fee: 20,000 Euros
1 year program
Diploma awarded: Masters in Innovation and Entrepreneurship
2. Stanford LEAD - Corporate Innovation (conducted through novoed)
Course Fee: 19,000 USD
1 year program
Certificate awarded - Stanford LEAD
HEC Paris option is good as I'm getting Masters degree but it is focused on Entrepreneurship and hence its mainly useful for people who are interested in startups. So I'm not sure if it will be useful for big companies
On the other hand, Stanford LEAD is mainly focused on Corporations which exactly fit my purpose but spending 19,000 USD on a Executive Certificate is what worrying me
It would be really helpful if anyone in this forum could provide thoughts on which one will be helpful to achieve my goal
Appreciate your valuable response
Thanks

The name of Stanford is more prestigious than HEC. Both are online. Some professional certificates are worth, even they are expensive. How do both work in the market? how could they help you? Have you known anyone who has any one of them? I would advise you to search in profiles in LinkedIn with either and contact them. It would be insightful for you.

I think I would hold off on this decision and chat with a recruiter or perhaps a friend from one of the consulting firms you are targetting (ask if someone can recommend/refer someone) and ask them how to strengthen your profile - i think they would be flattered and have a hard time refusing this information interview.
They can comment on what's low and far hanging fruit so to speak. Perhaps there are other items you can do/make for much less less time and money.
P.S. As to the name, either program would help and develop you and benefit you both personally and professionally. The Stanford name is a lot more sexy globally, however.
