To give the creation of new services and products a flying start, Innovation Factory conducts innovation workshops with you. These workshops are specifically designed to guide you through the different Innovation Funnel development stages, and have already enabled several of our clients to get the best out of their project teams. (Naturally, these workshops achieve the best results when they are a sequenced part of an integral innovation process.)

Ideation Workshops
Each and every successful new service or product starts off as an idea, varying from an actual new service or product, to a new marketing campaign, to ways of optimising processes and increasing sales margins.
Sometimes these ideas pop up into the minds of your people automatically, but mostly some encouragement is needed. Innovation Factory will help you generate large numbers of new ideas. Using different innovation methods, we can facilitate several ideation workshops for your teams. Brainstorming workshops using combinations of various creative techniques, for unrestricted generation of new ideas SIT / TRIZ, for systematically generating incremental, feasible solutions to various problems.

ur consumer insight action learning programme EyeOpener also includes idea generation workshops, in which new found consumer insights are translated into tangible innovations
Selection Workshops
As is illustrated in the Innovation Funnel, each development stage in an innovation process is tightly followed by an assessment and selection gate. Innovation Factory will organise Assesment and Selection workshops in which we will enable your decision making units
- Determining selection criteria specific for your company and market
- Assessing ideas and selecting the most promising ones for further development.
Concept Workshops
Once you have selected a number of promising ideas, it is now up to your development team to shape the ideas into viable concepts for new services or products
- Concept Definition, meaning detailed elaboration on the properties that will make the new service or product successful
- Feasibility studies, conducted in cooperation with your team or independently by Innovation Factory
- Business model and business case development
- Together with your team we will also determine a detailed plan for future development of your new services and products
