Pick & Mix Modules
And if there is nothing of your choice, we’ll create something new for you!
Module 1
Business Model Innovation
This session has a strong focus on creating and capturing value as part of the innovation process. We’ll take a deep dive into value creation models, such as the Value Co-Creation Framework (Michel) and the Value Proposition Canvas (Osterwalder). We then build a brigde between value creation and business model innovation. We’ll learn how to (re)design innovative business models, based on the framework laid out in the Invincible Company (Osterwalder).
Module 2
Open Innovation
During this module we start by zooming in on the role of ‘trust’ in creating a culture for innovation, open collaboration and collegiality (i.e. Laloux). When understanding the phenomenon of trust in business deeply, we make the bridge towards different forms of open innovation – with a focus on open innovation in SMEs (Chesbrough; Lee). We will understand the nature of ‘innovation-driven enterprises’ as opposed to traditional SMEs (i.e. Murray) and discuss mechanisms on how innovation-driven enterprises tap into, and co-create the different elements of highly effective innovation ecosystems.
Module 3
Responsible Innovation
In this module, we’ll move the focus to the future. During the workshop we’ll introduce a scenario framework that helps us flagging technological trends and ‘red alerts’ of the future (i.e. Van den Burgt). We take time to understand ‘technological disruption’, dive into the ‘the diffusion of innovation’ and how companies can respond to ever-changing and unpredictable markets. We introduce a process of assessing the responsibleness of innovation – in order to design innovative solutions that have more impact.
