Innovation Portfolio Management

Innovation Portfolio Management is all about creating the right balance in your innovation portfolio between short-term and long-term innovations, between low-risk and big-bet initiatives, between incremental and disruptive/transformation innovations, and between starting new projects and killing the non-viable ones.

Successful innovators master the art of Innovation Portfolio Management. They monitor innovation projects on well-defined financial or non-financial metrics and manage their progress with the use of Growth boards, Stage-gate models and Metered funding principles. But they are also aware of all the pitfalls, like the internal politics, hierarchical influences (are you familiar with the HIPPO effect?) and many more.

Based on our RevelX Innovation Readiness Benchmark data, Innovation Portfolio Management is the least developed innovation capability of all organizations. However, the high performers in innovation rate significantly better on this. 62% of them actively monitors innovation projects on well-defined metrics and stops projects that are not successful. This in sharp contrast to the low performers of which only 14% does this.

In this webinar, you will learn:

What are the best practices in creating and managing a well-balanced and healthy innovation portfolio?

How to set-up a good monitoring and portfolio management process with the use of stage-gates, well-defined metrics, Growth Boards and Metered funding principles?

How to avoid pitfalls and common mistakes in Innovation Portfolio Management?

Build your Innovation Strategy & Roadmap

Innovation is hard and many innovation projects fail. But why?

RevelX identified 5 key reasons why innovation fails within an organization and why it is so hard to realize a good Return on Innovation. And one of the most crucial reasons is rooted in the lack of a proper innovation strategy.

The RevelX Innovation Readiness Benchmark data shows that only 43% of the 350 participants indicate they have a well-defined innovation strategy and roadmap. And only 46% think they invest sufficiently in projects with a long-term horizon. Our data shows that companies with an innovation strategy rate significantly higher in terms of their innovation performance.

An innovation strategy defines specific innovation ambitions, goals, and themes. It also defines where, how, and when to innovate. And it is closely aligned with your company’s business strategy. It finally defines the key enablers that need to be developed to become a best-class-innovator.

In this webinar, you will learn:

What defines an innovation strategy and how can you align this with your business/corporate strategy?

What are the innovation strategy best practices?

How to design an actionable innovation strategy without lengthy, overcomplicated analysis, reports, and slide decks?

How to use a practical tool, like the RevelX Innovation Strategy Canvas, to design an innovation strategy that works?

SCALE-UP

RevelX recently published the hugely successful Corporate Innovation Playbook. It is the most comprehensive innovation playbook available in the market and was created to help you succeed as a corporate innovator.

We are now taking things a step further and help you successfully apply the playbook learnings to your organization with 4 brand-new RevelX Innovation Webinars.

In this fourth webinar we will cover the topic of Scaling-up. By the way, these webinars are part of a bigger whole, but are equally useful and valuable as stand-alone issues.

The main objective in the Scale-up phase is to generate large volumes of business. Many organizations struggle in this phase. They put off scaling for too long or they scale too soon. Scaling an innovation requires careful consideration. “don’t try to scale it until you nail it” is a popular saying. Yet it holds many truths. Especially in coporate setting, focus on generating early revenues and realizing ROI’s is a major factor in premature scaling.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why Scaling up is an important step in the innovation process

How to create the right conditions for growth

Balancing management of core business and innovations

Turning on the right growth engines

The main objective in the validation phase is to find data points to support or invalidate your won assumptions. If in this stage, you allow gut feel to take over, you risk spending money on the wrong initiatives. This makes innovation a risky and potentially expensive endeavor.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why validation is an important step in the innovation process

How to assess the true potential of new ideas

How to avoid unjustified investments in bad ideas or hobby horses

Grow

Despite the fact that there is a lot of talk about data analytics, there still seems to be something strange going on; Business leaders and in particular sales and marketing leaders, regularly take decisions that are often not in line with what data science supports and predicts.

This mismatch of what data says, and what business does, leaves great opportunities unused. The value of customer analytics provides proven cost savings and is essential for future revenue and margin growth.

And there is more. Most companies have the data already available to take big steps quickly. And there is even often no need for large ICT infrastructure projects to achieve major insights quickly.

In this webinar we share a data-driven playbook for action aimed at answering the following questions:

  • How to determine the lifetime value of individual customers
  • How to use this information to design an effective retention campaign
  • How to find prospects who resemble your most valuable customers.

Implementing a playbook provides insight and help marketers define and design campaigns with optimal effect.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Why business leaders need to act on what data say
