WHAT ARE THE INNOVATION ESSENTIALS?

A ready-t0-use portal of best practices that helpS drive market collaboration

Innovation Essentials  is a collection of adaptive practices, consisting of guides and checklists in the form of digital cards, that help corporations and start-ups form effective collaborative partnerships to develop new business models based on innovative market offerings.

Teams can adapt techniques easily and take on new ways of working without the normal change pain.

WHY USE IT?

find, attract & engage the best innovation partners

Teams and stakeholders have a clear map of key deliverables between the groups along with a barometer of the health of each project. 

Partners can rapidly validate or pivot away from potential business models and market offerings to enable funds to be focused on business models and innovations most likely to succeed.

It encourages us at all times to keep it simple and light. It is lean - Because it focuses us on the outcomes that we are looking to achieve

WHO IS IT FOR?

benefits for large multi-nationals, start-ups and incubators

There are many best practice books on the market but there is no quickly accessible, easy to use online practice guidance for innovation. By producing best practice guidance in the form of easy-to-read and understand digital cards, cross-functional teams (from disparate organizations) can work more collaboratively to achieve desired goals.

 Developed by industry experts

Led by  Teyi,  a consulting company that helps build connections between large companies and startups, the portal consists of eight industry practices created based on extensive research of leading popular practices, and developed and validated by way of a project with  Urban ICT Arena  and co-funded by Vinnova.

Driven by the report  "Corporate Innovation Powered by Startups",  Teyi  chose to work with Ivar Jacobson International and the open-standard Essence to formalize a consistent method to guide and help accelerate commercial partnerships. The eight practices consist of: 

Attracting Innovation Partners
Business Model Innovation
Collaborate to Innovate
Business Hypothesis Validation
Solution Validated Learning
Collaboration Health check
