Block A

Foundations of Innovation Management and External Context

In Block A, participants are introduced to the foundational concepts and frameworks of innovation management. This block emphasizes understanding the external context in which innovation occurs, including key drivers and scenarios that impact innovation strategies. Through scenario planning and the use of tools like PESTLED360 and Scenario360, participants learn to analyze external factors and anticipate future trends. The goal of this block is to establish a solid foundation in innovation terminology, kick-start the innovation process, and prepare participants for deeper exploration in subsequent blocks.

Block B

Internal Context and Non-Linear Ideation

Block B focuses on the internal dynamics of innovation within an organization. Participants delve into the internal context, exploring how to cluster and drive non-linear ideation processes. This block introduces advanced ideation techniques and tools such as Transformation360 and Commercialization360, enabling participants to generate and refine big ideas that align with their organization’s strategic goals. The emphasis is on understanding and managing uncertainty, developing hypotheses, and conducting the Riskiest Assumption Tests (RATs). By the end of this block, participants will have a clear understanding of how to foster innovation from within and how to translate innovative ideas into actionable plans.

Block C

Culture, Leadership, and Commercialization

The final block, Block C, brings together the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous blocks, focusing on the cultural and leadership aspects of innovation. This block covers topics like fostering an innovation-friendly culture, leading innovation initiatives, and preparing for the commercialization of innovative ideas. Participants learn to conduct commercialization diagnostics and to fill gaps in their strategies with well-defined hypotheses and experiments. The block concludes with the development of innovation memos and high-level plans for implementing and scaling innovation within their organizations.
