The days are counted in which lone entrepreneurs surpass competition by successfully innovating on their own. Nowadays, it is common consensus that value networks of different actors, working together in collaborative approaches of trial and error, outperform loners – innovation champions orchestrate innovation processes beyond the boundaries of their own firm. Enhancing companies’ innovation management through integration into strong value networks is at the core of our training course on “Open Innovation”. In the two-day course you will be introduced to a six-step process to drive open innovation along all phases of the innovation life cycle.

By participating in this course you will learn how to set the right targets for collaborative innovation, plan and prepare the joint activities and operate winning partnerships. Along the phases of our six-step approach for innovation in value networks, we will equip you with helpful tools and techniques, inspire you with success stories and strengthen your confidence in applying the new learnings through interactive breakout sessions. Furthermore, our international workshop formats are a great opportunity to enrich your individual value network by getting in contact with international innovation enthusiasts.
