Board of Innovation helps companies stay ahead of the curve. Over the past years, we’ve supported many leading organizations like GE, Philips, ING, and AB-InBev in designing and executing innovation strategies. By assisting multiple global innovation leaders in their innovation journeys over the years, we have seen how innovation itself has evolved, which innovation programs were born, and which ones faded away. By far, the number one question we’ve been asked by innovation managers has been, ‘what is the best innovation initiative for our organization?’ or ‘how do others tackle this problem?’

To help innovation managers and executives reply to these questions, we designed the "innovation matrix". Its aim is to help organizations capture a snapshot of their current innovation initiatives (for example, corporate accelerators, communities of practice, design sprints, training programs), orient how they want to approach innovation and take concrete action based on this analysis.

In this workshop, we will explain how to interpret the matrix and how you can exploit it in your business. This is the workshop for you if you already know and believe that you must do innovation but are looking for guidance on how to accomplish it.
