This is how we structure the creativity safely through agile innovation
Great value can be created through innovation, but the way to do so is often tricky and financially uncertain.
Innovation cannot be put on a definitive formula and requires creativity and agility that must not suffocate in structure and bureaucracy.
We use a 7-step development method that has been developed based on successful implementations across markets, technologies and borders.
The method tries to balance the need to achieve ambitious and creative goals within realistic economic frameworks in a way where stakeholders have the necessary transparency along the way.
Across the 7 steps we work with frequent review sessions based on prototypes, facilitation of the creative processes and project management.
