Understand the RIS concept
Our innovation experts have designed the Radical Innovation Sprint with three major phases: Ideation, Selection & Preparation and Research phase. During each phase our innovation experts carefully facilitate the process ensuring a perfect mixture of creativity and industry knowledge being added to the brilliant minds of interested researchers and other peers.
During the Ideation phase the Radical Innovation Sprint team facilitates travel our continuously expanding network offering presentations, workshops, 1:1 coffee meetings in addition to connecting the right peers.
The innovation experts will provide you with industry introduction and/or a challenged statement at the very right level for your creativity to be unleashed. The team also conducts ideation on either individual level or in groups. Additionally, you can receive feedback prior to idea submission, which is proven to increase the radical potential of your idea. Application is simple, double anonymous and designed to enable radical ideas to be visualized.
During the selection and preparation phase, the Radical Innovation team designs a committee with 12-15 experts who evaluate and rank the ideas according to how radical they find the ideas. As such our innovation experts take no part in the evaluation. The committee consists of industry experts, experts from other industries, researchers, and innovation experts. The committee members remain anonymous to all but our Radical Innovation Sprint team. The assigned budget defines how far down the ranking ideas are offered funding. Those offered funding start preparing for the Research phase.
In the Research phase ideas have 3 months to start exploring the idea. During this phase each sprinter (research/exploration team) will be assigned to a dedicated innovation expert from the Radical Innovation Sprint team. The innovation experts will help by feeding in needed industry knowledge, advise on how to tackle and remove the most obvious road blockers and simply help encourage the team in a time with fast pace and preliminary results. During the research phase fellow sprinters also get to meet each other in Peer Inspirational Teams called PIT stops allowing for networking and assistance from peers.
At the end of the Research phase each sprint team delivers a report in an article format, a pitch of your idea and a slide show. All which is to be shared at a close out day of celebration in front of a targeted audience.
