Idea Management is Dead, Long Live Idea Execution

What we talk about🎙

Idea management is dead. What innovation managers need today is an enterprise innovation framework that enables every employee to take an active role in the company's innovation process: submitting, validating and executing their own ideas. Bottom-up innovation should focus on gathering a maximum data about the customer, testing and implementing ideas with the least effort. Michael Hunkeler and Dave Hengartner discuss the value of idea execution in innovation management during this webinar.
