Still energized after 3 days of inspiring talks, industry insights and collaborative ideation with?700+ innovation professionals at the #IRSummit24 in Copenhagen! Some key take aways Overcoming Organizational Barriers to Innovation - Collaborative and Proactive Foresight: Going beyond data analysis, organizations need to develop stronger foresight capabilities, anticipating change dynamics and fostering collaborative efforts, also with external ecosystems. -The "No" Factor:?Many innovative ideas face initial resistance from the "corporate immune system". Leaders must view "no" as a starting point, encouraging experimentation and navigating organizational hurdles, if the idea is good. -Breaking Down Silos: Collaboration across departments remains a major challenge. Leaders must actively facilitate cross-functional innovation. Leadership, Culture and Agility - Leadership Principles:?Emphasize adaptability, curiosity and creativity in leadership.?AI will progress in an unprecedented way and truly transform societies. Amazon and NASA astronaut advocate for going beyond a narrow focus on IQ to a stronger focus on EQ and #AQ . - Culture of Innovation:?Nestlé and Q-markets advocate for fostering a supportive culture that rewards innovation, sets clear expectations from the start and provides resources for experimentation. I even experienced firsthand how this recipe fueled innovation—a trademarked recipe for a sparkling water developed from scratch and brought to market within 6 months. -Middle Management Empowerment: Middle management plays a crucial role: 67% of daily value chain influence according to IR summit survey.?Leaders must empower middle managers by providing them with the sufficient resources, incentives and clear KPIs to enable innovation. Customer-Centric Innovation -Understanding Customers' unmet Needs:?Here I'd emphasize the #ODI framework by Tony Ulwick. -Value-Based Pricing:?Understand the perceived value of your offering and price accordingly. -Sustainability and Circular Economy: Integrating sustainability into business models is crucial. Technology - Use AI to accelerate discovery and create new value propositions.?Important to address ethical considerations and biases in AI implementation.
