Many companies find innovation very important to their performance and future success. They also know and understand the success recipes and best-practices that tell them what to do, to achieve innovation success.
Yet, ultimately, there are very few companies that innovate successfully and even fewer that do so on a persistent basis.
In other words: many companies struggle doing what they know they should do.
And this is a worldwide phenomenon.
To help companies improve their capacity to create impactful innovations and achieve persistent innovation success, we offer two different services.
1) Executive Education: how to become World-class at Innovation?
In our executive education, we train and support companies in becoming world-class at innovation. In accomplishing this, we focus on the following three topics:
a) Barriers to world-class innovation
We introduce you to the latest scientific insights in organizational renewal and (digital) innovation, including key barriers that stand in the way of accomplishing lasting success, including biases and undermining behaviors.
b) Tools & techniques to address barriers
We equip managers with the latest tools and techniques to address these barriers so that a company can start to progress to, ultimately, a world-class level of innovation.
c) From Underperformer to a Worldclass Innovator
Managers acquire a dynamic understanding of how to progress from an innovation underperformer to a worldclass innovator. Participants learn what pitfalls they can expect in this process as well as ways to overcome these effectively, and achieve lasting success in their organizational renewal and (digital) innovation activities.
2) Innovation Quickscan: Diagnosis & Improvements
Our experience is that many companies trying to implement successful innovation best-practices often do well in a number of areas, but fail in other crucial areas. This mismatch arises when the organization conditions of the company do not support the implementation of innovation. In such (frequent) cases where a well-designed and effective innovation system is not in place, innovation meets a hostile environment with disappointment and failure as the predominant outcomes.
Our Innovation Diagnosis & Improvement' tool measures and diagnoses those core elements necessary to make innovation a success story. Our entire method is based on state-of-the-art science. At the same time, our tool is aimed at generating very concrete measures and hands-on tools that are easy-to-use, and effective in any company or organization.
