Ideate & explore new opportunities

Turning inspiration into a strategic headstart

ae_vp_bg-element_1

Does this sound familiar?

You get lost in the hype around new technologies

You need a clear overview to understand when a trend is relevant to your organisation.

You don’t know which ideas can offer real ROI

You want to know which new technologies or business ideas adress your challenges and deliver the best ROI.

It's difficult to turn new ideas into concrete actions

You want to develop proof of concepts and turn inspiration into value.

 A methodology to ideate
& explore new opportunities 

Blije collegas

Most companies are good at running their business. But to stay relevant in the long term, continuous improvements and innovation are key. And in an ever-changing business environment, that’s a challenge for most companies. 

Therefore, we developed a clear methodology to get inspired, and ideate & explore new opportunities in this digital world.

Inspire

Ideate & vote

Build & explore

Inspire

We inspire on how to be successful in a digital world by sharing and discussing trends, (business, people & technology), best practices, cases & insights and translating them to your own business context or technical landscape. 

Ideate & vote

Together, we ideate on business, emerging tech or other valuable trends. Strategic alignment helps us decide on relevant challenges to ideate around. During a business case workshop or technical exploration workshop we help determine priorities, based on feasibility and impact. We end with a voting session with an internal or external jury.

Build & explore

Together, we explore the prioritised ideas via POC’s, testing & prototyping and unravel proof of business value or learnings.

How we can help

To put our methodology into practice, we have several hands-on services and tools that help you gain inspiration and take steps in ideation and exploration.

Inspiration Session
Our experts give an inspiration session to kickstart your creativity with inspiring cases, best practices and market trends in different emerging technologies. 

Round Tables
During an interactive discussion with our experts, your key stakeholders pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses and try to discover new opportunities.

Workshops
We offer workshops that fit best with your current needs. This goes from an ideation or brainstorm workshop to a business case workshop or a technical exploration workshop. 

Proof of Concept
We develop a proof of concept together, based on the prioritised ideas from the workshops.

Prototyping
Based on the proof of concept, we can create a prototype to test critical functionalities and actual business value. 

What’s in it for you?

Frameworks, plans, tools… they are nice to have, but in the end it’s the results that matter. So, what’s in it for you? What can your organisation expect?

A look beyond the hype

We help you look past buzzwords & beyond the hype surrounding new and trending technology. With a pragmatic and hands-on approach, we help you understand when, why and how a trend is relevant to your organisation.

New business opportunities

We bring in fresh perspectives and show the path to new business opportunities through an efficient ideation & exploration journey that helps you accelerate the creative process, deliver proof-of-value and minimise risk.

Competitive advantages

By supporting you with fact-based prioritisation & evidence-based strategic decisions for your new business ideas, we help you realise true competitive advantages.
