Cohort IV showed the greatest improvement, while participant satisfaction levels varied, with Cohort V showing higher levels of satisfaction than Cohorts IV and VI. According to the evaluation of the implementation of innovation proposals, more than 65,47% of participants successfully implemented innovative proposals in their workplace. This shows that participants are very interested in innovation. The evaluation results stated that the CMI training was successful in increasing participants' understanding, but variations in participant satisfaction needed further attention.
