For many years, executives equated innovation with the development of new products. But this is only one way to innovate and, on its own, can deliver a low return on investment and does not optimise the integrated value opportunities that are possible for both your business and your customer. The Ten Types of Innovation® workshop will help businesses to think beyond product development while giving practical tips on how to create bolder initiatives.
