Abstract

Innovation is more than a good idea: It involves bringing the idea to the market, resulting in a highly differentiating market position. Not only product, also ideas have a lifecycle, from conception through launch, scaling, maintenance, to phase out, and replacement by a new innovation. Each phase is facing particular challenges that will be explored.

Objective

In this module, participants will understand the diverse aspects of these phases and the impact on the organization and governance.
