Focus Areas
And if there is nothing of your choice, we’ll create something new for you!
Open Innovation
A focus on building trust, openness and collaboration as drivers of innovation. Different forms of open innovation are explored, from partnerships with SMEs and start-ups to co-creation in ecosystems. The emphasis is on connecting internal strengths with external opportunities to accelerate results.
Business Model Innovation
This focus area looks at how organizations create and capture value in changing environments. Tools such as the Business Model Canvas are used to redesign business models that respond to shifting customer needs, emerging technologies and new forms of competition.
Innovation Ecosystems
Innovation increasingly happens in networks rather than within single organizations. This area examines how ecosystems function, how organizations can position themselves, and how shared value can be created by aligning interests across sectors and stakeholders.
Innovation Strategy
A focus on defining innovation strategies that balance exploration and exploitation. Central themes include paradoxes in strategy-making, portfolio choices and the integration of innovation into overall corporate strategy. Where relevant, we refer to ISO 56001 as a framework that helps organizations structure strategy, leadership and processes in a systematic way.
Foresight & Scenario Planning
Looking ahead is key to navigating uncertainty. This focus area introduces foresight tools to detect trends, weak signals and disruptions, and applies scenario planning to build resilience and create strategic options for the future.
Digital & AI-driven Innovation
Artificial intelligence and data are reshaping innovation processes. This area shows how digital technologies can be applied in ideation, research, design and decision-making, while also addressing limitations and ethical considerations.
Sustainable & Regenerative Innovation
Sustainability is no longer optional. This focus area examines how organizations can move beyond compliance to create circular and regenerative solutions. Frameworks such as the SDGs, CSRD and regenerative models serve as guidance for innovation choices.
Innovation Culture & Leadership
Culture is the soil in which innovation grows. This area highlights the importance of psychological safety, creative leadership and experimentation. The focus is on how leaders can enable an environment that stimulates learning and innovation.
Stakeholder Management & Governance
Innovation requires effective alignment. This focus area covers how to manage diverse stakeholders, build trust, and design governance structures that support collaboration in large organizations and cross-sector ecosystems. Elements of ISO 56001 provide guidance on roles, responsibilities and decision-making frameworks that enhance accountability and transparency.
