Ideas LAB

The Challenge

Ideas are the foundation of a company’s future. Whether it is improving a work method or a new disruptive business model, it boils down to letting ideas come up and cultivate them. A key success factor of thriving, high-performance cultures is the habit of accessing and stimulating the collective power of ideas, providing organizations with a distinct competitive advantage.

And yet the power of actively creating, managing and sustaining a company’s collective creativity is largely neglected in business.

 

The Solution

Unlocking collective creativity starts with creating idea challenges.

An idea challenge is usually a three to five month collaborative process that focuses attention on a specific issue and creates space for your team(s) to contribute, refine and prototype solutions.

An idea isn’t responsible for the people who believe in it.

-- Don Marquis

Further action

In Practice

In the Ideas LAB you will learn to apply idea design principles systematically: at the tactical level (for instance, in daily team-work, thinking of becoming more efficient, being receptive to potential disruptions), as a managerial tool in interpersonal or team settings, and strategically (for instance, in planning and validating future business opportunities).
