About the session
When it's clear where or what companies should innovate, they all come to a certain point where the decision about the HOW has to be made. With the ISF (Instrument Selection Framework) this can be done simply by looking at three different factors (type, time & topology). In his presentation, Dirk will explain the framework, how to adapt and integrate it, and how to use it. Using the ISF, innovators will always know exactly which of the 12 basic innovation instruments will be best.
