#15 – Your CEO’s innovation expectations

Broadcasted Dec 7

If you work in an enterprise innovation center of a company with let’s say 25 Billion in revenue, what do you think your CEO is expecting? An innovation that has a potential for €100 Million? That would be 0.4% of the current revenue. Would that be transformational? Would that replace a declining market potential? Would that make any difference? So sorry – no it would not.

In this webinar, Your CEO’s innovation expectations, we will talk about expectations and how YOU can meet them. There are several steps how you can learn what the company you work for needs and how you and your team can meet those needs. Don’t get irritated about the significance, the scope and the magnitude.

#14 – Genuine vs. Pseudo Innovation

Broadcasted Nov 9

The demarcation between Genuine Innovation and Improvements has been blurred in order to make improvements look like innovation. Now, it turned out, not only it is misleading, it is a personal career disaster for innovation managers once they move on to another company with no results to show.

Let’s look at GENUINE INNOVATION, its characteristics and major differences to improvement. There is no question, product, service or experience improvements are of strategic importance to keep the distance to the competition. But it is not an innovation, which is typically built from the ground up new, uses latest design technology, latest production methods, advanced sales and marketing techniques and most advanced customer experience techniques. INNOVATION is far more than just an improved product.

#13 – Innovation is a CEO mandate

Broadcasted Oct 21

Together with Innovation Thought Leaders from Johnson & Johnson, S-Three and BlueCallom.

In the past 25 years, the vast majority of groundbreaking innovations were delivered by startups. The economic risk for an enterprise getting disrupted is substantial.

Axel Schultze, CEO, and Founder of BlueCallom joined by Christian Weh, Senior Director Innovation & Global Projects for Johnson & Johnson, and Luuk Houtepen, Director Strategic Partnerships & Innovation at SThree, will discuss what enterprise leaders can do to move from an improvement paradigm to an innovation paradigm and avoid getting disruption through others. Also, they will explore how to upskill your teams and what a professional innovation team needs to do and know to deliver groundbreaking innovation? Moreover, what does the executive bench need to know about capital requirements, market preparation, and organizational adjustments to become genuinely innovative?

Innovation is rarely just a new product; it is always connected to different experiences, business models, and customer interaction models.

#12 – Creating an Internal Innovation Culture

Broadcasted Aug 12

An innovation culture can be found in countries, in regions, in companies, in families. And wherever it is, it has evolved based on some initial successes.

 The Silicon Valley innovation culture was allegedly sparked by Robert Noyce, one of the Intel Founders. And as it evolved different subcultures evolved, where the company culture at Oracle is rather different from the one at Tesla. And those cultures are very different from the cultures at Siemens or at Samsung. Many innovation cultures had been stimulated top-down but not all. There is also a growing number of internal movements to become more innovative and embracing innovation from within.

#11 – Successful Innovation Centers

Broadcasted May 20

Is there a potential exodus for some innovation centers that produce only improvements but no innovation? What do the most successful innovation centers do differently? By speaking with roughly 100 innovation executives in Europe and the US, we recognized a very high level of frustration over their own innovation centers. Get some insights into how most innovations had been created from a process point of view, what needs to happen to create such circumstances, and how success can be measured.

Neuro Ideation Introduction

Broadcasted Oct 15

Tapping the secrets of the mind, unlocking the human potential of innovation.

Once we found out how our mind composes and processes innovative ideas, it changed everything for us. Today we are set to disrupt the act of innovation itself.

In this webinar, we kick off a new era of innovation. We shared the latest neuroscience discoveries with you that allowed us, after four years of research, to find out how the mind composes and processes highly innovative ideas. Our founder and CEO, Axel Schultze, put everything into context. He talked about new methodologies, far beyond brainstorming and how the burst of innovative ideas can be processed in an entirely new software solution.

#6 Deep Innovation Design Process

Broadcasted Nov 5

The age old riddle of how our brain composes and processes ideas is solved. The question is now, how can we leverage the new way of innovative thinking and access those features the brain provides us like muscles in the physical world. Neuro Ideation is at the core of the Deep Innovation Design process. We will share with you how we can stimulate – even play with some features of our brain like a football players with their ball. We will share some of the key neuroscience discoveries and how we can processes results with a newly developed Computer Aided Ideation system (CAI). Because we all know – only what we can measure we can manage and that must be true for ideation as well.

#5 Idea Validation

Broadcasted  Sept 3

You and your team developed a great idea. But is it really great? Is it worth investing millions just to find out, the market didn’t respond as hoped? Every Innovation Team needs to find out even BEFORE you get into expensive prototyping. Consumers are intelligent enough today to read a drawing and eloquent enough to tell you whether that is a dream solution or just yet another improvement of an existing product. Asking the right questions, sharing the right vision, asking the best possible candidates and understanding what they say is the key. You will learn how to conduct a idea validation at ground zero.

#4 Innovation Dream Team

Broadcasted August 6

As always, it takes teamwork to make a dream work. And big dreams need dream team. Here we are sharing the bet possible team composition, we talk about the necessary diversity of the teams and the trap of expert teams or mono cultures in the innovation team. Innovation Dream Teams have an entrepreneurial spirit but not necessarily entrepreneurs. We explore the top traits of an innovation team and the experiences they will need to have. You will learn why skills are not a key selection factor

#3 Organizational or Market Facing Innovation

Broadcasted July 4

Innovation is not necessarily always a new product or new business model. Organizational Innovation has usually the same impact on customers than a new product. If painfully long waiting lists, difficult order processes and difficult service operations all of a sudden change to a radical new experience and saving customers time and headache, such an organizational innovation is as valuable as a new product design. Those Innovations could also lead to business model innovation which usually is difficult to compete with. We show you how.
