In this year's edition of EuroSPI's traditional Innovation workshop series, we will focus on business innovation, as well as on democratizing innovation through stakeholder empowerment.
Against the background of the highly networked, interconnected, and therefore complex and technology-intensive ecosystems that we have been building up over the last decade, continuous innovation power has become the lifeblood of every successful industrial organization. More than ever before, short innovation cycles and rapid change driven by complexly interlinked change drivers are challenging and transforming not only every single industry sector, but the entire social, economic, and ecologic ecosystem. As several key decision makers of European automotive manufacturers and suppliers put it, “The next ten years will see more
changes than the last one hundred years have ever seen”. In such a context, innovation can no longer be driven and managed by a few decision makers and innovation managers only. Instead, innovation must become an integral part of company’s DNAs and with that, their organizational cultures. This is only possible by empowering a huge quantity of employees from several organizational units and hierarchy levels for taking an active, entrepreneurial part in the company’s innovation initiatives.
Also in this year we invited experts from OpenInnoTrain, an EU project which empowers the open innovation transfer of experts between industry and university.
