If you agree that innovation is an essential ingredient for the health of any organisation, how do you know you are on the right diet? How do you create a strong culture of innovation? And, what do you need to do to ensure you have a healthy innovation pipeline that drives growth and differentiates your offer?
Thales- a world leading company in aerospace, defense, security and transportation decided to invite NEF to help them provide different perspectives on answering the above questions at a high-octane interactive workshop.
Led by NEF’s CEO, Professor Sa’ad Medhat, the session focused on how Design Thinking could be used to create environments for effective Open Innovation. Held at Thales’s R&D Centre in Reading, the workshop stimulated creative problem solving and provoked interesting scenarios that used techniques such as MVP (minimum viable proposition) to test various ideas amongst the 40 participants. It helped define an action plan that will underpin Thales’s innovation strategy.
