Maybe you’ve felt you want to take a step forward in the development of your business, but you’re not sure how to get started?
Or maybe you’ve already started to innovate but need a clearer direction and a better strategy?
Bringing in an Innotrep consultant could be the solution to help you better understand the nature of innovation in your business and provide personalised support to take your business to the next level.

From self-assessment to action plan

With an Innotrep consultant, a company can carry out an externally validated self-assessment based on the Innotrep Innovation Capability Model.
This assessment is not just a theoretical exercise, but an analysis based on your company’s current practices, which will help to define your current position in the innovation capacity matrix.
With the help of a consultant, it will be easier for the company to draw up a tailor-made action plan targeting specific focus areas that need attention and development.

Exploiting the possibilities of the network

One of the biggest advantages an innotrep consultant can offer is access to a wider network.
Whether it’s best practices, partners and contacts, or knowledge of available services and support, the consultant can help you identify and seize the opportunities that will support the growth of your business.

Innotrepp as a development model

The Innotrepp is a development opportunity mapping tool that allows you to talk about innovation, taking into account each company’s unique level of development and needs.
It helps to understand that innovation doesn’t always have to mean something radically new or world-changing – often the biggest wins are hidden in incremental but targeted improvements.

Thinking through the five levels

The Innotrep model divides companies into five levels of innovation performance:

  1. Interested in innovations
  2. Tester of innovations
  3. An innovator with a guided process
  4. A strategic innovator
  5. Ecosystem designer

Each level has its own challenges and development recommendations, and an innotrep consultant will help you understand what your specific business needs are.

Synergy of six factors

The Innotrep model focuses on six key drivers of innovation performance: ambition and leadership, culture and people, innovation in the value proposition, innovation management processes, finance, and partners and collaboration.
The consultant will help you to understand the interplay of these factors and help you to identify development opportunities that fit your business needs.
