Innovation 360 Announces New Innovation Management Offerings

July 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Innovation 360, a leading innovation management consultancy in the UAE, has announced two new offerings for organizations looking to improve their innovation program strategy and results.

Kamal Hassan, founder and CEO of Innovation 360 said, “We are committed to helping our clients uncover and solve future challenges with innovation and creativity. We are introducing a number of new products designed to help both large organizations and SMEs, starting with our new Foresight and IdeaFusion offerings.”

Innovation 360’s “Foresight” offering is a comprehensive method for assessing the current state of an organization's innovation portfolio, as well as its readiness for future scenarios. Through a combination of interviews, observations and tools, organizations are analyzed to determine the strengths of their innovation strategy, execution, enablers and leadership. The offering also helps companies identify industry trends that can be used to develop future scenarios for new innovation opportunities.

“The landscape is moving from the knowledge-worker to the knowledge-enterprise,” said Gbemisola Akande, an Innovation Architect at Innovation 360. “The organizations that survive will be those that are intelligent enough to look toward the future to uncover both innovation opportunities and disruptive threats.”

The company’s other new offering, “IdeaFusion,” helps organizations with idea generation, ranking and selection. It uses an online system for capturing and voting for ideas, called IdeaScale. The IdeaFusion offering also includes two ideation workshops, an ideation culture playbook, and the ability for companies to encourage and reward participation through gamification.

IdeaFusion is designed to help organizations generate many good ideas from a dedicated community, either ad hoc or related to a specific challenge. Ideas can be sourced from inside the organization, or opened up to a designated community to take advantage of crowdsourcing.

The two new products are part of a larger rollout of new offerings that the company is designing based on many years of innovation and business development experience, as well as an extensive understanding of the MENA market.
