Fireside chat on the strategies for value creation
Join Axel Funhoff and Koen Verhaert as they discuss the five core strategies for value creation through innovation, balancing wanted and unwanted effects. In addition, they break down the five drivers for added value (purpose, usability, desirability, feasibility, viability) and challenge the dogma of the outdated, linear TRL framework.
Fireside chat on the status of corporate innovation
In this episode, Wouter and Axel dive into the current state of corporate innovation and why traditional corporate venturing has largely fallen short. It’s time for companies to return to their core, focusing instead on strategic buy-and-build approaches, equal partnerships and targeted bolt-on acquisitions.
