startup:net Workshop „What Kills Innovation“

There are two major trends shaping our lives and world of business – Servitization and Digitalization. In such a world, innovation is not a ‘nice to have function or department’, rather innovation is the business. How do we bring innovation into the business? Is it possible “to learn” innovation?

Innovation succeeds and ends in mind first before it takes any material form. From this lens innovation is first and foremost a mindset. In other words we need to start by asking ourselves ‘what kills innovation’ in organisations and what can we do to address those innovation killers.

To nurture and cultivate innovative mindset in organisations it is imperative to understand which impediments are in the way of innovation, and how we can overcome them. Such an approach to innovation is about ‘awareness’ and ‘action’ to unlock value.

In this talk, the speakers will share insights about innovation killers and what organisations can do to identify them and develop ways to address them.
