Tangent at Trinity - Masterclass in The Innovation Ecosystem

Overview

Overview

An innovation ecosystem is a network of interconnected individuals, teams and entities that co-evolve to facilitate shared innovation delivery. Innovation ecosystems play a critical role in building a sustainable innovation strategy. Knowledge of an organisation’s unique innovation ecosystem leads to a better understanding of key relationships and resources, helping to transform ideas into reality and to maximise productivity. Continuous ecosystem analysis, monitoring the stakeholders within it and understanding the key role each play is fundamental to appreciating the integrations, inter-dependencies and risks on which an organisation’s innovation strategy relies.

This masterclass will help you understand the ecosystem that supports innovation. It will help you tap into existing resources and initiatives while also assessing the changes needed in the business to support your path to innovation success. You will explore the practice of stakeholder mapping and learn practical tools that can be applied to build a comprehensive stakeholder map for your organisation. You will also learn about different types of innovation and how the right initiatives can support your innovation strategy.

This is designed for individuals who want the skills to strengthen their organisation's innovation capability. It is designed for leaders, managers, entrepreneurs and enterprising individuals who seek the knowledge to develop and implement innovative strategies.
