Return To ShopCHALLENGE DESCRIPTION
Build a funnel to manage innovation in your business
You are one of those companies that are always on top of innovation, therefore you need to think how to manage any idea and any opportunity that your team is generating or is scouting outside. The innovation funnel is the right high level process to manage such ideas and opportunities. Building an innovation funnel is essential to manage innovation. To travel across the funnel, an idea has to respond to different requirements and criteria, and has to be developed, accordingly. Every time you move an idea into a new phase of the funnel, you need to clearly understand if it is in line with the strategy, whether your customer will buy or not, if it is feasible, scalable and marketable... and it is not over.
PROBLEM
You need to understand how to develop ideas and opportunities within your business. This is a complex problem that needs an articulated process to be managed properly and effectively.
RECURRING QUESTIONS
- How do I manage ideas and opportunities?
- When I have an idea, or find a new opportunity, what to do with it?
- How do I bring an idea to the market?
- Do I need a process to develop an idea (or opportunity)?
- Do I need specific tools to manage ideas?

A stress test along the whole funnel
For the following steps, it is possible to stress test what you are prototyping and building, by using our CHALLENGE KIT.
This kit might be used for single actions, or single parts of the models you are prototyping, or some of the ideas by asking the typical nasty questions at every step you take.
STEP 1: explore
GAMEKIT #1
A specific kit to identify how is better to explore what is going on outside (and inside). You need to always understand your problem and then decide what to do, based also on what your customer segments need.

Whether you need to deep dive on some ideas or opportunities (e.g. technologies, suppliers, materials, or similar), you might need a specific online proprietary tool.
