Open Innovation Workshop
Discover innovation potential and come up with new ideas as a team
The workshop
The future is open, unpredictable and full of possibilities: Technological innovations make new markets and target groups accessible and can radically change everyday working life - innovative thinking and action has become a decisive factor for the future.
However, organisations are often trapped in their day-to-day business or in entrenched structures. Ideas for new products and services or for the optimisation of processes often remain unspoken in the minds of employees.
The Open Innovation Workshop offers your team an introduction to actively dealing with change and exploring new possibilities. We invite you to scrutinise the status quo and open your eyes to creative solutions. The aim is to identify possible application contexts in your organisation and evaluate the potential for innovations that are specifically relevant to use. We are inspired by digital technology, but we always focus on people.
The facts
Kick-Off Meeting
Workshop and take-action meeting (together approx. 7.5 hours)
Evaluation
Our approach
Explorative
We open up the possibilities and develop a wide range of ideas before focussing on the best solution together with you.
Individual
We don't have a standardised approach. We customise our diverse set of tools and methods to best suit your needs.
Practice-orientated
We measure ourselves by practical results. We always develop our concepts and solutions with a view to good operationalisability.
Agile
We maintain a high degree of intellectual and practical agility. This enables our team to react quickly and flexibly to new findings and requirements.
Participants
The Open Innovation Workshop is aimed at people in organisations who are ready to actively shape their own change and take digital transformation to a new level. An interdisciplinary composition of decision-makers, strategists and specialists is recommended for the workshop.
Programme of the workshop
1/ Kick-Off
First of all, we would like to get to know you and your organisation: In a kick-off meeting, we discuss current goals, challenges and existing initiatives. We will also work with you to plan the line-up and schedule of the workshop.
2/ Understand
In the first part of the workshop, we provide input and inspiration on digital trends and technologies and their potential applications. We always reflect on your individual context. We ask questions, let people talk and listen - this creates lively interaction between all participants. The different perspectives help to get an accurate picture of the status quo and derive ideas for innovations.
3 / Ideate & Innovate
In the further course, we define specific application contexts and develop target images of the desired state. Working in groups and using creative techniques, we develop ideas for products, services or processes to achieve the respective goals. Together, we bring the ideas together and prioritise them. One or two top ideas are concretised in a further ideation round and transformed into sketches for innovation projects.
4 / Take Action
At the end of the workshop, we summarise the results of the work and make concrete recommendations on how the ideas can be pursued further. We use our expertise in agile project management and user-centred design to provide you with practical advice.
Our team
Target-orientated innovations arise from the constant interaction between strategy and technology. We combine our analytical and conceptual experience with the knowledge of our experts in artificial intelligence and application design.
