Tangent at Trinity – Masterclass in Innovation Planning

Innovative organisations intentionally plan for innovation, aspiring to a vision and innovation strategy that defines the key metrics of success. Through the establishment and allocation of focused performance targets, organisations can ensure innovation remains a part of their business strategy. With this in mind, a more diverse growth model is supported; a model that considers not just the near-term delivery of well-established efforts but that also derives value from the more ambitious initiatives tied to incremental innovation.

This masterclass will deliver a detailed analysis of what is required to design and plan an innovation strategy. It will introduce the concept of innovation initiatives and explore how innovation modelling can provide a management framework. It will present an overview of the most effective methods for adopting innovation and provide the practical knowledge needed to develop innovation strategies for your organisation.

The masterclass is offered in two formats:

• Taster session
