Analysis and Immersion
Innovation requires that the people involved in the process, live the solutions in their everyday life: live your business processes, share your techniques, get in the shoes of your users and customers.
• ethnography, practice type, records the organization of a community of employees
• ethnology, of a more formal and reflexive sets from these descriptions the general lines of structure and evolution of this community
• anthropology compares similar themes among different communities .
Because each client is unique, and each client belongs to one or more groups, communities, tribes, consumers and stakeholders, it is essential to analyze the ethnographic, ethnologic and anthropologic behaviors.
Because differentiation through innovation must target the best value proposition for each user, it is essential to immerse ourselves in their daily lives.
Using research methodologies such as individual and group interviews, value analysis, change management, and years of experience, our Innovation Center consultants immerse themselves in your environment to deliver a detailed analysis and recommendation of deliverables.
Value Innovation - Blue Ocean
The Blue Ocean Strategy® is focused on market-driven innovation to generate sustainable growth. For companies in a saturated market where products like growing and where the price war is raging, must overcome the constraints of its market.
To exit the "Red Ocean" of competition, companies have to make a huge increase in value and effect a paradigm shift that will lead to the creation of a completely new market: a Blue Ocean.
The goal of this paradigm shift is to discover new criteria for adding value to the customer, regardless of the accumulation of technology or the effectiveness of marketing. Once shifted, it becomes possible to communicate key differentiators and price, eliminating the superfluous and meeting the real needs of the client.
Using a value-analysis approach and analytical tools to both maximize the value of innovation and maximize the profit margin, we are able to proactively change the market and strategically carve out a new position.
This strategy applies to any type of enterprise or innovation project: from the very small to the very large; from an improved product to the creation of an entirely new product.
This methodology has been successfully implemented by the Innovation Centre consultants for several years with companies in all sectors and all geographies.
Change Management
Innovation leads to several internal and external changes - strategic, organizational, cultural and technological; all of which need to be:
- aligned to the corporate business strategy
- reflected in the business model
- optimized in all operational procedures
Innovation Center consultants include methods of change management in every step of the transformation process in order to eliminate any barriers to adopting the new solution and to ensure individual and group dynamics facilitate the process of ownership of those new solutions.
