Is your Product lacking flavor - Add a Dash of Innovation! (Paul Boos, Marissa Bornholdt)
Description

Is your organization struggling to make a difference with true innovation? Ideas abound, but how do you know which ones will pay-off?

Or perhaps your Innovation & Planning Sprints (IP Sprints) don't really result in anything innovative; they focus on training on a known technology or doing 'research' on applying a known technology in a known way. Most likely it's catch-up work, right? What would injecting innovation look like?

Wouldn't you like to know what ideas may pay-off BEFORE you invest a ton of time, effort, and money into them? How about setting up some guardrails to keep ideas from becoming someone's pet project?

This workshop will introduce you to exercises, concepts, practices, and techniques you can use to get innovation flowing and ensure it is considering the needs of your customers. It will be mixed in with our experience in helping a large organization inject innovation into its IP Sprints and the journey on which we are taking them. It will also showcase an example of the results of an actual start-up so you get a full picture for how the approach and techniques can work. Whether you are not getting the innovation you want from your IP Sprints, hackathons, innovation time/days, or other approaches, let us help you get started.


Learning Outcomes:

  • Learn and approach to injecting innovation into your enterprise or program and then harness it for product development or new major features.
  • Gain some lightweight techniques to help validate which ideas are worthy of investment.
  • Develop some insights into the types of innovation for use by customers, both internal and external.
  • Determine some specific steps to establish how you can instantiate these concepts into your organization.
