This presentation discusses how companies can implement a controlled and repeatable innovation process. It introduces the InnoSpecting Framework, which is a three-phase approach to innovation: Capture, REFINE, and Retire. In the Capture phase, companies identify internal and external sources of new ideas. In REFINE, ideas are ranked and tested through small experiments. The top opportunities are implemented. The framework provides tools to manage the innovation process. The presentation aims to help companies maximize value from innovation initiatives.
