Sustain and Grow the Maturity of Innovation in Your Enterprise
Going to the next level of maturity for innovation.
Book This Workshop
An innovation program that does not have a formalized process inherently exhibits many flaws:
- Innovation projects are not achieving the desired return.
- Innovations are low level.
- Innovation initiatives are dispersed and the department doesn’t have a grasp on innovation as a whole.
Formalizing the innovation process will allow for improved efficiency, quality, and management of innovations:
- Returns will be maximized through a portfolio-based approach.
- Managing the psychological capital of the innovation program will enable the creation of high-level innovations.
- Updating the IT strategy to formalize the innovation process allows for more structured management of innovations.
