Future-proof through The Owls innovations processes

‘Future-proof’: show me one company or social organisation that does not want to be that! Of course, you want to remain relevant so you can make an impact in a rapidly changing and ever more complex world with often fierce competition for the best products, services and ideas. But how? Once quickly thinks innovate! That is easier said than done because in practice innovation turns out to be a verb. If that is so, how does one then ‘do innovation’? The Owls’ method has a convincing answer to that question.

Is innovation a prerequisite to remain relevant and successful in the future?

The answer to that question starts with an important disclaimer: innovating is not a goal in itself or per definition ‘the right thing to do’. Innovation is a means to increase your impact: financially, in society or both. Only if innovation also means further progress can it lead to breakthroughs for your company or organisation and to sustainable impact. It could be a new product or service for the market or for society. Or a clever strategy that distinguishes you from the rest and makes you successful. It is these breakthroughs that shape new trends. World (economic) history clearly shows that companies and organisations that lack the ability to learn and adapt so they can create innovations with impact, loose their relevance, end up marginalised or even disappear all together.

From vision to reality

What actually makes an innovation successful? Research and practice showed us that innovations with impact are characterised by clearly distinguishable phases and a structured process in an environment that stimulates innovations. Whilst aiming for impact, every phase of the innovation process has critical indicators pointing towards success or failure whether it is at the creative, conceptual or operational stage. The Owls Breakthrough Method© ensures that everybody in your company or organisation who is involved, is connected to each other through one integral model, from director to professional / implementer. They all think and work according to one master plan. It gives you a helicopter view – like an owls’ – and connects strategy to operation. And it reduces complexity to the bare essentials. Surely, you would also want that!
