Innovation is often perceived as an elusive concept, reserved for those who wear hoodies and work in dedicated innovation hubs. But to truly harness an organisation's innovation potential, everyone must be involved. Suzanne recognized this and focused on spreading the innovation mindset and ways of working throughout her organisation, making innovation "business as usual."
Translating existing innovation methodologies for business units can be challenging, but a bespoke and agile approach proved to be the key. Agile's continuous iteration, experimentation, and interaction with customers helps with understanding how to make innovation relevant and actionable for everyone. It also de-risks projects, increases the success rate, and decreases stress levels by prioritising and managing workloads realistically.
In this keynote, Suzanne shares her experiences and insights on how to make innovation an everyday practice for all employees, allowing organisations to unleash their full innovation potential.
How do you know if your innovation team is doing a good job? Traditional metrics may not apply to measure success in innovation-driven projects. This can lead to a misconception that innovation is fluffy and a challenge to track progress and impact. In this keynote, we will explore the importance of setting relevant targets that motivate teams and lead to success.
We will discuss a framework inspired by the concepts of Innovation Accounting and Objectives & Key Results, which help in setting relevant targets. The keynote will highlight the distinction between activity and impact metrics, demonstrating how they can be used to evaluate a team's effort and measure tangible results.
Acknowledging process and structure is essential, especially in teams that are still learning and adopting new ways of working. By the end of this keynote, you will have a better understanding of relevant innovation metrics, how to set targets, and how to track progress towards tangible outcomes.
Organisations often miss out on the valuable insights of their customer-facing employees due to the lack of skills and opportunities to act on them. But what if you could bring innovation to life for your employees through a one-day Customer Experience event?
In this keynote, Suzanne shares how non-tech hackathons, blended with experiential learning and Agile methodologies, can create a collaborative and structured process for your employees to identify customer problems and generate value-creating solutions.
Discover how this approach can equip your employees with the right mindset and skills for the future of work, and expose them to new ways of working in a fast-moving environment. Get ready to gain practical insights and tools for leveraging non-tech hackathons to transform your organisation's customer experience.
