The general belief that corporations have endless resources is far from truth, and with mounting external pressure from SMEs and startups, knowing how to prioritise innovation initiatives is becoming a strategic asset. This workshop will set you on your way to creating what it takes to be able to prioritise the countless ideas that float in your company. Picking the right ideas to work on is more of a science than an art.
