With 20+ years of innovation under the belt, focused around high-technology solutions, they secure a legacy of continuously pushing the limits of the industry through rich and dynamic relationships with their customer base. The new branding stems from a continuum; “Innovation Takes Form” puts the spotlight on the company’s employees, partners and customers, and their journey through the Innovation mindset. This mindset builds on intrinsic expectations about the metrology market, namely the product, the relationship, and the ambition. Key to the success of Creaform are the satisfaction expressed when scanning and measuring with intuitive tools, the human connections made along the journey, and the ripple effect on the customer’s own ambition. #InnovationTakesForm #CreaformRebranding

A book by Ian Timotheos-Pilon, that looks super interesting! Contextual intelligence is a principle suggesting that true innovation emerges not from rapid development, but from a profound engagement with the customer's struggles, aspirations, and the context of their lives. Eckhart Boehme Peter Rochel Thomas W. thought you might find it of interest! Aligns with the customer jobs to be done principles and methods for sure. #contextualintelligence #struggles #aspirations #situationalcontext #customerprogress

Last week brought also another exciting experience, when I had the opportunity to meet the tech team leads of Eleport Innovations and facilitate a workshop on the role and value of design for them. Here's a little recap of what we did: - A deep dive into the team's viewpoints discussing the various aspects of design's purpose and concluded that the whole whiteboard full of things can be boiled down to one thing - improving the business results. That's why design and business goals need to align.  - Explored the business value of good design, citing sources such as the McKinsey Design Index to put numbers behind the theory.  - Connected the business goals to the topic of design quality and why both too low but also too high quality is harmful in this context.  - Discussed the topic of design as an afterthought - products and experiences we have found most frustrating and the possible reasons behind such cases.  - I talked about how a solid design process can avoid the aforementioned problems and outlined some best practices.  - Finally, I found out how design has been done at Eleport so far, heard about their current issues and by the end of the workshop we mapped out ideas and most burning issues regarding design that the team would want to tackle this year.  - All done in 2 hours at a good pace with great input from the team. It was fun and energising for me and hopefully equally useful for the tech leads. I'm really excited to see where Eleport moves with design. There's a lot to win!

Are Innovations and Inventions the same thing❓ Despite so many of you arguing that they could be, Innovations don’t necessarily involve creating something entirely new from scratch. 🧠 #Innovation can also mean gaining the tools to scope, design, test and pitch your projects through a different lens. 🔎💡 Looking to learn how to apply innovation methodologies onto your projects?
