Open Innovation: Developing New Products and Services in the New Normal

How will innovation look like after the peak of pandemic has passed? The New Normal will lead companies to redesign their products, services, processes and business models at an unprecedent rate to address new challenges, and rethink their way of being. Innovation will become the key to sustained competitive advantage. How can companies and business leaders face this challenge? They must rethink their approach to innovation to embrace a more Open philosophy, whereby knowledge and technologies are accessed from multiple external sources (customers, suppliers, solvers, communities, universities) to accelerate innovation cycles, optimize costs and investments, and increase productivity of the innovation process. The aim is addressing the strategies, tools and methods that business leaders can use to make Open Innovation real.

LEARN AS YOU GO

Learn as you go is our new digital educational programme designed to provide ideas, “actionable” skills and tools that can be applied immediately in your professional environment to help organisations recover rapidly, particularly as a result of the current health emergency.

In the online workshops into which the Learn as you go programme is divided, through active engagement, participants can take inspiration from relevant topics, connect with managers, other professionals and entrepreneurs, and, at the same time, acquire specific skills which can be put to good use in their professions.

To be scheduled from June to December 2020, two types of digital workshops are available: Inspiring – for a “Learning from Practitioners” experience that allows an exchange of ideas and the sharing of best practices – and Empowering – with an applicative approach which, through practice, enables solutions to be found that can easily be applied and used in the workplace.
