Stay True to Yourself
First and foremost, the most effective innovations are those that lie close to the heart of your business. They are derived directly from your mission and fully aligned with your long-term strategy. Secondly, innovating is a continuous activity and requires specific skills, processes, resources and a governance structure. For these two reasons in particular, it’s important to set up your innovation capability in-house.
Outside help
Do you want to build all aspects of innovations and anchor innovation itself in your organization, but don’t know where to start? Eraneos can help. Our first step is to draw up an innovation strategy based on your existing vision, mission and/or ambition. This strategy forms the basis for developing the required innovation capability together with you. This involves, for example, attracting people with the right skills, creating support for the required governance structure, implementing the necessary processes and working methods, giving legs to the first initiatives and experiments, determining the KPIs and devising forms of collaboration with the rest of the organization. In the end, you have a supported and future-oriented innovation team that uses professional processes to run an impactful innovation practice.

While the capability is being built, the first innovation initiatives are already becoming visible. Executing initiatives thus runs partly in parallel with the implementation of the processes and structures. This bolsters the innovation mindset, inspires the environment and makes building up the capability transparent and visible from the outset. The 15 aspects we develop are illustrated in the diagram below:
