Product Innovation
Product innovation is the introduction of a good or service that is new or significantly improved with respect to its characteristics or intended uses. This includes significant improvements in technical specifications, components and materials, incorporated software, user friendliness or other functional characteristics.
Process Innovation
Process innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved production or delivery method. This includes substantial changes in techniques, equipment and/or software.
Marketing Innovation
Marketing innovation involves significant changes in product design or packaging, placement, promotion or pricing. Product design refers to product form and appearance and those changes do not alter the product’s functional or user characteristics.
Organizational innovation
Organizational innovation has to do with a firm’s business practices, workplace organization or external relations. For example, new practices that can improve learning and knowledge sharing within the firm.
What we do
We design, implement and execute tailor-made initiatives to cater our corporate and startup clients and partners needs because we know a one size fits all approach does not work. We are a consultancy, which talks less and does more, therefore we deliver impactful change, through designing bespoke initiatives for each client’s needs, because no two companies are the same.
