How PMs and BAs can bring the startup spirit to their organisation with the Innovation Canvas
Innovation is hard. Ideas are cheap and plentiful, but execution often falls short, and few ideas lead to valuable results within reasonable time and budget.
In this interactive talk, Filip introduces the innovation canvas and corresponding validation driven think — shape — try approach. They support PMs and BAs to guide idea development and help bring the most valuable ideas to fruition.
Some of the challenges the Innovation Canvas tackles:

• How to shift from product thinking to customer thinking?
• How to turn a “we believe” mindset into a “what are our assumptions & how can we validate them” mindset?
• How to get MVPs right: what do you need to build first?
• How to manage a portfolio of innovative yet uncertain ideas?

The approach helps PMs and BAs facilitate their organisation’s innovation process, from ideation to value creation. It enables innovation projects to follow a validation driven approach, building customer feedback and business agility into the process right from the start.In this talk, Filip will share real life examples and we will discuss how innovation projects can be managed effectively.Bio:Filip Hendrickx
