Systematic Innovation Management

Purpose

Have you initiated discussions about innovation? Do you aspire to innovate more frequently and enhance your capabilities in this domain?

Through facilitated dialogue led by RISE, focusing on systematic innovation and innovation management, you can facilitate and develop your business and teams' long-term, sustainable value creation.

Companies and organizations that methodically invest in innovation management and empower their employees in innovation work have demonstrated superior performance compared to others. They enhance their prospects for increased sustainable profitability and value creation - socially, environmentally, and financially.

In this offer, you address crucial questions and success factors concerning innovation, innovation management, leadership, and teams. Based on your circumstances, you'll engage in a co-creative dialogue about your desired outcomes and your current position. Together, you'll agree on concrete actions to increase or decrease - both in your everyday operations and for the future. This is aimed at fostering collaborative progress in your systematic innovation work and enhancing your innovation management capabilities.

Experienced innovation and process managers from RISE will support your forward-thinking dialogue and bolster your team's psychological safety and competence in reaching a consensus on systematic innovation work.

Our approach is grounded in research and best practices developed by RISE in collaboration with national and international actors within the emerging professional fields of innovation management and innovation leadership.
