In the IM Channel One – The Next Generation Innovation series you are invited to discuss the challenges that large complex organizations face as they consider moving across the innovation continuum from ideation, to innovation management, and ultimately to a more open innovation environment. By attending the series, you will be inspired to present your recommendations for your organizations’ innovation roadmap.
If you are willing to see beyond today’s “web-based versions of the old wooden suggestion box”, you should join this first webcast with David Burns, CEO at Induct.
Challenges addressed in the October 13th session
In this first webcast Induct will share some important findings from their last three years of studies and research projects from innovation practice. You will:
- understand how processes and structures can be put in place to manage, rank, decide on, track and archive hundreds or thousands of ideas and challenges
- see how organizations can bring more employees into the innovation process and also increase the number of internal and external collaborations
- learn more about managing the portfolio of ideas with several stakeholders in the organization
- get the opportunity to ask questions and discuss with David Burns
- be invited to a post- discussion at the InnovationManagement Forum to help confirm a solid understanding of the knowledge presented as well as provide a chance to share opinions and experiences.
And more…
In their attempt to transition to a more open innovation environment, many innovation directors and open innovation enthusiasts are confronted with IPR-risks and a fear of the unknown consequences of open innovation. In addition, some innovation management solutions are still considered electronic versions of the “old wooden suggestion boxes” instead of enablers of open, global collaboration across entities, cultures and professions. There are extensive opportunities, and for the frontrunners, it is all about getting the priorities right.
Expected take aways from session #1
At the end of this first session, you should be able to present better recommendations for the “innovation journey” in your own organization. Then, you can start your preparations for the next session: “Next Generation Innovation – What Do I Need to Get Started?”
