How to generate new innovation opportunities in the company – The Electrolux case

Recognizing and managing true innovation, innovating more and better are strategic and essential objectives to guarantee the future of the company. By now it is no longer enough to be good and prudent in reaching the path to the future, it is necessary to excel in the ability to innovate.

CRIT, in collaboration with The Doers, proposes a workshop that introduces some tools to govern innovation as a strategic, deterministic and scalable process. The workshop will help participants recognize:

the difference between sustaining and disruptive innovation,
how to design a corporate innovation program,
how to prepare the cultural bases in which innovation can flourish better, and more effectively.

The meeting will also see the testimony of Electrolux, a world leader in the production of household appliances for home and professional use, which has created, in collaboration with The Doers, an internal pathway to involve employees in identifying and generating nine business opportunities and innovation.
