COVID -19 has thrown up many challenges and subsequently provided many opportunities. It’s knowing how and where to look for the opportunities that will set businesses apart.

There’s never been a more crucial time to think differently and innovate – to implement something new into the market from a consumer or customer point of view. Innovation isn’t just about new products: using Doblin’s 10 types of Innovation principles, we assess opportunities to innovate across services, communication, processes and business models.

Key Principles of the programme:

• ·Identify the role of innovation in delivering the business strategy. What type of innovation is required to ignite your business for the post-COVID-19 ‘New Normal’?
• ·Understand the priority business capabilities you need to develop to improve your innovation performance consistently.
• ·Identify and work on a specific innovation challenge that’s relevant for your business today using challenge statement principals. What innovation is required to grow your business now?
• ·Utilise appropriate tools and processes based on Design-led thinking and Lean Start-up principles to kick-start your innovations journey to market.
