Tuesday 15 November • Innovation for crisis rebound

The economic crisis, inflationary pressure and scarcity of talent force companies to achieve less with more. You need to strategize your innovation resources, reorient innovation and equip teams with better tools and methods to boost your capacity to innovate. Only then will you overcome the valley of death more quickly.

Koen Verhaert

Hosted by Koen verhaert
CEO Verhaert Masters in Innovation

9h00 • New business creation to overcome inflation & sustainability needs
The shift to sustainability in FMCG can only be realized successfully when you invent new business models, new delivery tools and new products. Together with the current economic situation, putting pressure on prices, a shift in execution of exploratory thinking & pretotype testing of direct-to- consumers’ business models, new ecosystems, and the invention of new smart delivery tools appears the best way forward.
By Jonathan Reeves – Corporate Vice President New Business, Venturing & Marketing Excellence at Henkel Laundry & Home Care

9h30 • Installing a shock-resilient innovation culture
Now more than ever innovation managers need to cradle ambitious plans and build a rebounding innovation engine. The reality often is that the context for this compulsory change is missing. Rather than fighting for a budget, building a new adapted innovation culture needs a step-by-step approach, based on change management techniques. Discover tools and methods to shift to a robust innovation culture.
By Stijn Smet – Managing Director at Verhaert Innovation Academy

10h00 • Book 2 one-on-one meetings through Conversation Starter

10h30 • Innovation via reduction: a pathway to a great outcome?
Our human drive to invent new things has led to historic achievements. When we brainstorm innovation, we usually come up with ideas to add, but we often forget the immensely high value of simplifying and streamlining. Especially in crisis times, your innovation toolkit should include reduction, subtraction and elimination processes.
By Ornella Torres Melkebeek – Consultant DesignLab at Verhaert Masters in Innovation

11h00 • Minimizing the valley of death – the economics of emotions
The valley of death, known as the phase between exploration and successfully implemented innovation. With the current material and talent scarcity in mind, controlling this phase becomes crucial. Because success as a new product is not always a success as a business and vice versa. How can you accelerate market adoption and shorten break-even time by understanding and mastering both economic and emotional drivers?
By David Pas – Coordinator InnoLab at Verhaert Masters in Innovation

11h30 • Book 2 one-on-one meetings through Conversation Starter

Wednesday 16 November • Climate-conscious innovation

The climate crisis shows us just how important resource awareness is. Creative solutions to reduce emission and consumption with new technologies won’t be enough to have a true impact on climate change.

9h00 • The evolution and potential of direct carbon capturing
Some people say you should focus sustainability action on reducing CO2 production, instead of recovering CO2 directly from the air. A few years ago, direct carbon capturing was still an unfavorable and energy-intensive solution, now it’s becoming a promising deployable technology. Which driving trends are putting direct carbon capturing in pole position?
By Dirk Fransaer – Managing Director at VITO

9h30 • Sustainable design to reduce company value chain emissions
In the quest to lower companies’ CO2 emissions and optimize the use of scarce resources, it’s important to not only look at the company itself but also at the entire value chain. Find out how using sustainable design can nudge your upstream (suppliers) and downstream (customers) operations significantly.

10h30 • The quintuple helix: innovation through public & environmental insights
How do you accelerate and scale solutions that help society adapt to climate change impacts? For this aim to work out successfully, you need to focus on creativity and base innovation on the industry, academic, society, governmental and environmental insights. Open innovation is the core lever of this so-called quintuple-helix innovation framework.
By Mahmoud Rabie – Consultant Openlab at Verhaert Masters in Innovation

11h00 • AI-enabled sustainability through process optimization
AI isn’t just a cornerstone of digital transformation and process optimization. Artificial intelligence and machine learning open the doors for creative opportunities in sustainable production processes.
