Strategyn, Dialogues House and Incubator Exchange would like to invite you personally
to join an exclusive get-together with other innovation and marketing specialists and
special guest Tony Ulwick (author of “What Customers Want: using outcome-driven in-novation to create breakthrough products and services”).
We all recognize that innovation is one of the few and perhaps the only consistent source of long-term competitive advantage in most industries and markets. Yet in so many organizations the innovation process is broken! How do we know this? Because cross industry success rates for new product innovations continue to hover around a dismally low 10-30%.
It is of vital importance for companies to improve their innovation success rate. This afternoon provides an important foundation for that change.
Tony Ulwick will demonstrate how companies can develop a well-founded plan for growth using the latest thinking and research on innovation. You will leave knowing how to turn your innovation process into a lean, linear and predictable process. A process with proven tools that can be deployed in any organization to dramatically improve the success rate of innovation, create market growth opportunities and boost the bottom line.
In this afternoon you will learn:
• How to identify hidden opportunities in mature markets
• How to uncover uncontested space, blue oceans
• How to identify which ideas, technologies and acquisitions have the best potential
• A methodology for executing innovation with the right inputs in the right sequence
• Advanced innovation theory, tools and techniques for identifying and prioritizing oppor-tunities
