Towards Innovation Maturity
Exceeding innovation maturity, reaching innovation excellence
In today’s innovation landscape there’s a clear need for innovation excellence. Once companies have established an innovation culture, they shouldn’t stop. Organizations need to develop an engine that captures, develops and selects ideas, and scales them around strategic topics. With the Innovation Maturity Model you can valorize the process step-by-step. During the webinar 4 speakers will give more insights on how you can implement this in your overall organization.
