Building innovation stamina (capacity) involves building, sustaining, and converting an idea pipeline into business outcomes. Many times, employee participation is also emphasized along with the pipeline. In such cases, the broad objective is fostering a culture of innovation.
We use an ABCD approach that : (a) creates Awareness (b) builds a Bright spot repository (c) run a Challenge campaign, and (d) improves the client's innovation Dashboard. In a multi-year engagement, I help clients create enablers of innovation stamina (such as catalyst teams, labs, sandboxes, and a partnership ecosystem involving academia and startups). Here is an innovation toolkit with 50+ tools I use in my workshops.My client engagement varies from 1-2 days (workshops), 1-3 months (ABCD approach), 1-3 years (ABCD + Enablers)
This is a sample list of client engagements along with the ABCD approach
