Cultural Issues in Managing Innovation
Managers involved in innovation activities have to deal with issues like politics and power games, gaining buy-in from key stakeholders, overcoming conflicts with external partners and creating high-performance teams with people from diverse cultural and business backgrounds.
How can you successfully tackle these challenges?
Attend our seminar to learn about important characteristics of such cultural issues and how to address them with powerful approaches and intervention design.
Cross-Business Innovation 2003
There is great opportunity for business growth through leveraging the innovation potential which lies
between business units in organizations. But tapping this Cross-Business Innovation potential requires
new and different approaches because it is not supported by organizational structures.
Two 1-day Innovation Management Roundtables on the topic Cross-Business Innovation were held on March
and November 2003 to explore approaches towards Cross-Business Innovation.
Empathic Market Sensing 2005
On an increasing level, innovative companies go beyond conventional market research to use Empathic
Sensing techniques; thereby building upon voice-of-the-customer and observational "applied ethnography"
techniques to dive deeply into how customers think and act.
In this 2-day Conference 35 managers from international companies came together to explore issues and applications
relating to the use of Empathic Market Sensing to drive innovation and growth.
Taking time-to-market to the next level
Companies have become very sophisticated when it comes to product development and project management
training and tools. Still there is a lot of pressure to further improve project performance.
And despite the efforts often too many projects do not meet their original goals.
In this forum we plan to use a compelling business board game focused on project management
dynamics to stimulate discussion on how to drive forward the simultaneous improvement of time, quality
and cost.
