Key topics we will discuss
Driving Service Innovation Strategy
Today's competitive landscape requires not just innovating for the present but also envisioning future growth. You can develop a robust and versatile service innovation strategy by focusing on a tri-fold timeline (today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow).
We will discuss how to distinguish between different types of innovation and allocate resources accordingly, establishing a harmonious alignment with your broader service transformation strategy.
The crucial importance of this strategy lies in its capacity to foster both immediate results and long-term prosperity, while securing buy-in from key stakeholders.
Mastering Idea Generation and Implementation
Ideas are the lifeblood of innovation. However, the challenge lies in generating valuable ideas and deciding which ones to pursue or abandon.
We will delve into empathic design principles and the Lean Start-Up (or similar) methodologies - powerful tools that enhance your team's capacity to create winning ideas and translate them into tangible initiatives.
The success of any innovation strategy heavily depends on the quality of ideas and their practical implementation, making this topic a crucial part of our summit.
Agile Service Product Management
Agility is the new currency in the business world, especially in product management.
We will explore how an agile approach to service product management can enhance your effectiveness and responsiveness, particularly in managing your service product backlog and sprints.
We will also address how to introduce new service products, turn intangible services into tangible 'productized' offerings and scale up your offerings.
An agile product management strategy allows for adaptability and speed in a rapidly changing market, enabling you to stay competitive and ahead of the curve.
Innovating the Business Model
The way we do business has fundamentally changed in the digital era. A strong value proposition, effective go-to-market strategy, and efficient operating and revenue models have become paramount for any service organization aiming to thrive.
We will discuss how to (gradually) innovate your business model to meet better changing customer expectations and market dynamics. We will also cover specific challenges for business model innovation and how to overcome these.
Innovating your business model is crucial to unlocking new revenue streams, improving customer experience, and maintaining competitive advantage.
