Innovation

Identifying strategic challenges and developing innovative business models are most effective when considering diverse perspectives.

Our solutions are a blend of our internal capabilities and a handpicked network of global experts. We collaborate with carefully chosen international specialists to assist clients in addressing innovation challenges. We help organizations align their current ventures with emerging trends and develop new business strategies. In addition, we leverage the innovation in our clients, building a robust innovation ecosystem.

To this end, we work in partnership with IMP – Innovative Management Partner, considered the best innovation-focused consulting firm in Europe. We support our clients throughout the entire innovation cycle.

Alignment of existing business models with the “new normal”

We collaborate with companies to support an in-depth reflection on their innovation strategy and innovation capabilities, enabling the alignment of their business models to the “new normal”. This includes:

  • Identifiying innovation positioning, assessing the coherence and sustainability of the current business model;
  • Mapping relevant trends and drivers – building a vision of the future;
  • Identifying the organization’s key innovation capabilities;
  • Mapping barriers to innovation (strategic, technological, cultural, etc.);
  • Defining relevant innovation areas and developing effective initiatives.

Creation of innovative and disruptive business models

We support our clients in expanding their business models, processes, and products, developing breakthroughs, and inventing new solutions for emerging markets, through:

  • Identifying emerging technologies and strategic opportunities not yet explored;
  • Mapping demands and requirements for products and services in new segments or niches;
  • Integrating diverse perspectives (including executives from multiple sectors, academics, startups, and clients) in the development of new business logic.

Enhancement of innovation through ecosystems

We combine agility and a startup mentality, along with relevant technological know-how and market knowledge (leveraging our network of experts) to design a suitable innovation ecosystem in our clients’ organizations. In particular, we support our clients in different initiatives:

  • Developing competencies to enable the organization (or part of it) to function like a startup;
  • Defining the right balance between autonomy and control;
  • Designing mechanisms, building skills, and reinforcing values to enable continuous interaction between the organization and the innovation ecosystem (startups, incubators, accelerators, technology suppliers, etc.);
  • Ensuring alignment between entrepreneurship and efficient, agile project management.
