Most alumni of the Innovation Launchpad had their company pay for it.
Even if they didn’t have a formal training budget. Just follow these 3 simple steps:
Give your manager a heads up to signal your interest and prepare the ground. Try sending your manager a message like the one below
Hey boss, I just saw this course on innovation and I think it'd be really useful for our work. Can I send you the details?
Short, personal emails are best. Copy the template below and tweak it for your context:
Hey Boss,
There’s an online course on innovation that looks great and I’d like to enroll.
The Innovation Launchpad is a cohort-based learning program designed for ministry innovators and organizational leaders to learn best-in-class innovation principles, encounter opportunities for collaboration, and join a global community. It's $1450, but they also have a special package for teams.
It teaches the core principles of innovation and gives the tools necessary to design and launch new initiatives, manage teams, lead sprints, and introduce as well as validate new ideas to your organization.

Would it be ok to expense this?
PS: should we offer it to the team?
Your manager is a busy person?
Just send this reminder if you haven’t heard back from them after 3 days:
Hey boss, have you had time to look at the course on innovation that I sent you?
I really believe it’d help us grow our department as well as expand the reach of our company's mission.
