#“Demand Led Innovation Workshops”
I'll be honest, I see the word "innovation" and I instantly picture Dilbert's PHB telling them to leverage synergy. It is a word that has effectively become meaningless. But when it is allied to action, then I'll take another look.
I was contacted a while back by the guys in Innovator.ie about an Innovation Workshop but I mis-read the intent and thought it was just for those in the Civil Security Sector. It was only when someone else clarified it for me that I realised what it was all about and it looks very interesting indeed.
This is the language that caught my eye:
What you and your colleagues will get from this workshop:
-
Bring new innovation practices into your business
-
Create sustainable business models for generating new revenue
-
Rapidly amend existing offerings to tap into new markets
-
Take skills learned to easily prototype and create new products and offerings
The workshops are two days long with a gap between the days as follows:
- Newry - March 23rd & March 30th
- Dungannon - April 15th & April 22nd
- Cork - April 20th & April 27th
- Galway - May 6th & May 13th
They are also not expensive. €250 and 2 staff can attend.
