Event description
In this seminar, you will learn about a tried-and-tested, multi-step process model for developing a future-oriented innovation strategy. The focus is not only on selecting incremental areas of innovation, but also on designing radical, disruptive and architectural innovations that ensure long-term competitiveness.
In addition to product and service innovations, we consider the entire organisational capacity for innovation: innovation networks, resources, infrastructure, culture, people, structures and processes. Best practices from industry and research show how successful companies develop and anchor their innovation strategy and transform it into continuous ‘innovation excellence’.
Topic areas
- Fundamentals of innovation strategy: goals, ambition level, strategic guidelines
- Proven multi-step process for strategy development
- Incremental, radical, disruptive, architectural: how companies strategically address the entire innovation spectrum
- Innovation beyond products: consideration of services, data-based business models, digital services
- Innovation networks & ecosystems: identification, establishment and management of internal and external collaborations
- Innovation capabilities & resources: roles, methods, tools, data, infrastructure
- People, culture & organisation: innovation culture, understanding of leadership, skills & mindsets
