Whether you are just starting an innovation project or want to install a culture of innovation at your company, these methods and learning material will guide you through your innovation journey.

Run Innovation Projects from Beginning to End

Making innovation real requires a structured, human-centered approach that supports the entire innovation lifecycle: from the generation of novel business ideas to the development and delivery of high value solutions.

Shape a Culture of Innovation

Making innovation sustainable in an organization requires a change of mindset catalyzed by its employees and leaders, an environment of collaboration and empowerment and a process that seeks to generate value by identifying real business and human challenges. Therefore, we designed a framework to support the creation of an Innovation Culture that considers five interconnected enablers: People, Process, Place, supported by Leadership, and Technology.
