Case study

Launch of a global innovation initiative for a life sciences and materials company

A global corporate innovation initiative was launched by our client to generate ideas beyond the scope of its current business. Having selected an in-house team of innovation managers, it was recognised that the team would need innovation coaching and that hands-on support was required to ensure the successful implementation of the initiative.

We worked on-site with the client team for the first year of the initiative, during which we:

• identified topics for guided innovation streams and facilitated related workshops
• evaluated and refined ideas suggested by employees and identified during workshops
• gave constructive feedback on individual ideas
• delivered market and technology content to take selected ideas forward
• coached project teams in the development of business plans
