Answers to important questions

If you can’t come up with a good answer to at least one of these seven questions then we can personally guarantee that you will definitely benefit from innovation digging. 



  1. Where is it possible to start, with finding ideas and fresh innovation?
  2. How can you bundle and manage the powers of creativity without being the frightful “voice of doom”?  
  3. How can we ensure that the ideas uncovered will maintain a relevance to the company’s goals and ambitions?
  4. How can we learn to think “outside of the Box” to help us discover the innovation with the highest potential?
  5. How can we methodically increase the likelihood of radical or disruptive innovations?
  6. How can we control and learn to calculate the future innovation processes without actually impeding on these processes?
  7. How can we create the necessary motivation and drive, which will ensure that every team member backs and supports the ideas of their fellow colleagues?
