Innovation Matrix
A complete overview of innovation programs: you define the benefits you expect from your innovation strategy, the innovation matrix will show you the most suitable program to activate.
What is this for?
Navigating through all these different formats is not always easy. We’ve been asked by innovation managers questions like ‘what is the best innovation initiative for our organization?’ or ‘how do others tackle this problem?’.
To reply to these questions we’ve created an innovation strategy matrix that compares innovation initiatives. Surprisingly enough, we call it the innovation matrix.
This PDF tool aims to support you in making the right decision when it comes to launching your next innovation program so that you can get the most out of your innovation budget.
