Open Innovation

Ecosystem Innovation

Today, most non-incremental innovations play out in ecosystems – Customers expect complete solutions.

We help to understand the platforms and ecosystems that exist or emerge. Or we help to establish new ones which will replace what is there.

Cross-x clusters

More and more, companies are engaging in cross-industry/science clusters to reduce Research risk and time-from-lab-to-market.

We help to decide whether cross-x clusters make sense and we help to avoid the pitfalls.

Scaling-Up

Pre-Scaling-Up

Without proper Pre-Scaling-Up, chances for Scaling-Up success are limited. Many resources will be burnt.

Most companies do not validate properly. Often, ‘product/market fits’ are not what they seem to be.

With leading firms, we have co-created a unique, best-in-class Validation framework. We help to make a call if a concept is ready to be scaled up..

Scaling up ventures

Success in Scaling-Up requires clarity about what needs to be done and how to align the corporate scaleup with the core organization.

With leading firms, we have co-created a unique, best-in-class Scaling-Up framework. We help to stack the odds for success.

Scaling-Up Factory

Some of our clients do not stop their ambition with seeing one or the other non-incremental innovation becoming a success. They want to build the organizational capability for Scaling-Up.

They aim to have repeatable success. We help to build a ‘Scaling-up Factory’.
