SMART Innovation Management Program
Data trends indicate that around 40% of the companies
thriving today will be gone within the next 10 years. In this new
world, innovation is a basic survival skill. SMART Innovation
Exchange (SIE) in your region can help communities,
enterprises and organizations establish an adaptable
innovation process and foster a culture of innovation in your
community, enterprise, or organization. Our data-driven action
plans are based on analytics from thousands of innovative
projects over many years. In today’s intricately connected
global marketplace, with new competitors appearing daily
even from other industries, disruption is the status quo.
How to Assess Innovation Management & Culture
In order to know where you are going, you must first know
where you are and what you have to work with. This ancient
law of navigation applies the most advanced projects in
innovation. In our SMART analysis, we collect and analyze
your project comprehensively, both externally and internally.
Our evaluation and diagnosis is data driven, incorporating key
drivers, organizational resources, macro drivers at the global
scale, industrial trends, market logic and disruptive technology
on the horizon.
SMART Innovation Assessment Survey (SIAS)
The assessment survey generates a comprehensive 40-page
customized report on innovation SWOT (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, threats), along with tangible
recommendations on how to sharpen your Innovation
Strategy, Leadership, Culture and Capabilities. Give managers
the informational resources they need to lead the SMART
transformation of your organization to a culture of SMART
innovation. Benchmark against the best, assess and measure
your Innovation SWOT, take action on tangible measurable
actions. SCE in partnership with Licensed Practitioners, can
help you create SIAS for your SMART city, community,
enterprise or organization. The assessment survey includes
interviews, collection and assessing organizational and market
information, kick-off, one workshop and final presentation with
tangible recommendations.
How to Change Innovation Management & Culture
Knowing where you need to go is very different from knowing
how to get there. Change management is a specialized skill,
incorporating elements of motivation, psychology, project
management, structural engineering, presentation, marketing
and negotiation. Beyond that, changing from a traditional
organizational structure to one designed around a culture of
innovation brings unique challenges. Many communities,
enterprises and organizations have succeeded and have
come out on top of their verticals, while others have lost their
way. From the C-level to customer-facing operatives,
everyone in your organizations must be brought on board with
aligned goals and a clear understanding of what’s expected
from them. Based on initial SMART assessment, we assign
your organization with a customized InnovationIQ score, along
with a data-dense report detailing optimal recommendations
on best practices, to redirect your efforts for greater
achievement and establishing lasting change at every level.
Organizational Design and Establishment of
SMART Innovation Exchange (SIE)
What could your community, enterprise or organization
accomplish if you were operating inside a SMART innovation
incubator, with support and expert guidance for all your
creative concepts? It can happen and you can create that
atmosphere for yourself. All it takes is the right application of
research, market data and best practices in innovation. Don’t
go it alone. Build on the successes from 30 years of
innovation research and thousands of companies from around
the world. Every community, enterprise, or or organization can
construct its own SMART innovation Exchange (SIE) from
existing internal teams, alongside specialized skills you may
need to bring in to complete the mission. Our international
team of experts can help you construct the framework using
details on your prevailing governance and reporting structures,
links to the growth strategy of your top level business leaders,
the most profitable business models across all industries, and
the extent of formal/informal involvement by C-level
executives.
SMART Innovation Management Training & Workshops
Nothing is as instructive as doing it yourself. A session of
hands-on training with personal attention and guided
instruction is the most efficient and indelible method of
transferring knowledge. To maximize the effectiveness of your
innovation training, bring in experts that have helped countless
professionals from every walk of life. Learn functional, tactical
innovation techniques like SMART innovation jams, structures
for a productive Hackathon, LSP for design, fundamentals of
practical ideation, and many more conceptual frameworks on
the forefront of hypothesis-based invention. Great ideas are
easy to come by. Great innovations are rare. The gulf between
the two exists due to inadequate development and selection of
the innovative projects that meet the skills, goals and market
position of the innovators.
Keynotes and Conference Leads
Innovation is the key to economic growth & business
continuity, penetration into new markets, international
expansion, rebranding, disruption and everything else that
keeps your community, enterprise or organization relevant as
the world changes around it.
Make innovation your superpower. At your next event, off-site
or conference, bring in our team of world-class innovation
leaders who can electrify the audience with interactive
demonstrations and motivational storytelling.
