Launching an Innovation Team Sept 6, 2017
Erik Goodfriend, Humanity Innovation Labs
“We’ve got a great idea, now we need a team to make it happen.” The journey from product ideation to launch is full of challenges. Meeting those challenges requires an innovation team structured for success; able to combine the right resources, tools and insight with product strategy, design thinking, and business model design. Who are these supermen and women? What skills and talents must they have? What role should leadership play? Can the team exist within an existing organization and still do amazing work? Learn the recipe for a successful innovation team, the ingredients each member needs to bring, and how teams “built to learn” have a greater chance of success.
