More innovative

We have devised 2 propositions that are relevant to innovation management:

• Implementing Idea Management helps to gather ideas from a broader base, ensures that ideas are reviewed properly, helps select the most promising ideas and makes sure that all ideas are stored as they may come in useful at a later point in time.
• Implementing the Innovation Funnel assures a well-structured approach to the selection and further development of ideas.

Organisations that are successful at continuously innovating very often have an innovative culture and nurture it. An innovative culture is not achieved easily and requires strategic thinking and planning. The Innovation Factory supports such efforts. Such efforts are usually tailored to our clients, however we have defined a number of propositions that support most efforts:

• The Innovation Audit analyzes how your current innovation culture is viewed and valued by the people in your organisation.
• To support such efforts we offer InnovationHub, a communication platform aimed at communicating innovation initiatives throughout, and beyond your organisation

Without the people in your organisation there can be no innovation. Their shared knowledge, skills and actions determine not only how your organisation functions today, but also how it will continue to function in the future. The Innovation Factory offers several training modules which help you enrich your company’s greatest asset: your employees and management.

• Our Top Innovators Program is a 2-year program in which a group of people are enrolled who will be enabled to start making a real difference for the organisation.
• Innovation Boot Camp, which guides your (will-be) Chief Innovation Officers, Innovation Managers or entire Innovation Departments through the full spectrum of innovation, and prepares them to continuously facilitate, manage and create innovation in your company
• EyeOpener establishes an open mindset, and directs the focus of your employees beyond the boundaries of everyday affairs. This results in greater insight in the needs and wants of customers, suppliers and other relevant stakeholders, and professional awareness and growth with the participating individuals
• Concept Development; writing solid Market Propositions, Business Models, and Business Cases for (multiple) project teams
• Each of our training methods is based on action learning: Real-life issues of your company are addressed during the training modules. So not only are your competences strengthened, you also get tangible results.

To a large extent, innovation determines an organisation’s future and should be a substantial part of the organisation’s strategic planning cycle.

Innovation Factory helps its clients with 3 strategic propositions:

• Strategy Formulation defines the areas where your organisation should innovate.
• Technology Roadmapping enables you to plan on the basis of foresights into developments in technology and the market.
• Successful, structural and continuous innovation requires an innovative culture.
