INNOVATION NAVIGATOR
Elevate your innovation journey with Innovation Navigator!
Innovation teams frequently struggle to develop clear and concise problem statements and opportunity hypotheses.
Based on years of research and client engagement as well as best practices from the Stanford GSB LEAD Program, SmartOrg developed a focused team engagement to facilitate innovation scouting initiatives.
This workshop focuses on…
- Value proposition mapping
- Hypothesis generation
- Lean experimentation
- Innovation action plan
… that delivers on the three key corporate elements for successful innovation:
- Evidence of value
- Value of evidence
- Innovator to investor confidence (matching the innovator dialect to the investor)
