| Bring Your Challenge
to the Workshop |
Workshop
Case Study |
Participants are encouraged to bring an innovation challenge to the workshop. The Innovation CUBE can be used with products, services, transactional systems and corporate strategy. Participants will be able to work through their own challenges throughout the course in order to internalize key concepts, method-ologies and the Innovation CUBE tool. |
Participants will be challenged by applying their innovation learning to a "warm up" case study. The case centers on BogaGrip, a fishing tool company struggling to find a way to compete with a Far East competitor emerging on the horizon. |
THIS WORKSHOP WILL ANSWER YOUR TOUGHEST INNOVATION "HOW TO" QUESTIONS
1. "We can't manage what we can't measure. Will the Workshop show us how to measure our innovation performance in "real time" so we can make course corrections?"
|
 |
| 2. "New opportunities seldom come from old directions. Will the Workshop enable us to find and exploit new market opportunities?"
3. "If a stakeholder is not part of the solution, they may become part of the problem. Will the Workshop show us how to get all stakeholders involved -- and keep them involved -- during the early innovation process?"
4. "An effective and efficient process is the key to any improvement. Will the Workshop give us a step-by-step, systematic methodology?"
5. "We want to know if we have really looked wide and deep enough before arriving at a solution. Will the Workshop show us how to measure the breadth and depth of our innovation thinking?" |
6. "We believe in looking at many solutions and then measuring them against one another to find the best. Will the Workshop enable us to develop many solution sets and then use quantitative measurement to decide the optimum one?"
7. "When it comes to quality and cost, we believe in "fire prevention", not "fire fighting". Will the Workshop enable us to develop "lean six sigma" solutions at the early design phase, not later during the production phase?"
8. "We want a universal innovation method, one that can be quickly deployed across our entire enterprise. Can what we learn be applied to not only products, but services, systems and business systems as well?" |
