Collaboration
& innovation

With more and more work being decentralized, the question of collaboration and innovation is becoming an increasingly pressing one. We often find ourselves in situations, where effective collaboration will actually require some form of innovation. This form of innovation happens in the intersection of social interaction, leadership and new digital possibilities.

The collaboration and innovation track brings together all these aspects and focuses on how you can move away from simply organizing a task - and on to finding a way for all members of the team to effectively contribute to achieving your goals. Pointing participants in the direction of both routines and methods of innovation that could make it possible.

Open Innovation – less magic, more results!  “If you can't measure it, you can't improve it"

Identifying the potential for growth in our company or organization, and measuring our Return On Innovation, enables us to achieve results faster. This keynote shares strategic and hands-on advice for:  

  • Faster results and more frequent launches of innovative products and services

  • A higher success rate due to goals, process and KPI’s being aligned

  • Reducing the risk of new innovation projects due to a sound structure and the right tools

  • Engaging people to foster innovation throughout the organization

The speed of innovation is constantly accelerating, but the challenge is that the largest benefits of innovation are still not being measured. In this keynote, Truls Berg, head of Norway's open innovation lab, shares tools, methods and frameworks for measuring, and thereby improving your innovation efforts.

“One of the things that people make a mistake of when it comes to creativity is they over focus on the novelty part. Scientists have found that creatives find the most success when they create ideas that are a blend of the familiar and the novel. Those are the ideas that we tend to be most attracted to.”

In this keynote Allen demystifies the concept of creativity into a practice that anyone can fuse into their current work and processes for better results.
