Strategic InnoVentures' Agile Innovation Systems Methodology Peaks GIMI's Top 10 List

Today, Strategic InnoVentures’ announced the recognition and inclusion of its Agile Innovation Systems (AIS), “a blueprint for execution,” by Global Innovation Management Institute on its Top 10 list of innovation methodologies. InnoVentures consulting group provides clear, step-by-step guidance on how to implement Agile and Lean Startup principles for “new growth” initiatives and entrepreneurship from within established corporations.

While Agile Innovation and Lean Startup concepts are not new, large companies and entrepreneurial-minded organizations still struggle with implementation on a strategic level and, most apparently, the practical execution.

Dr. Irene Spitsberg, author of the AIS framework, and founder-Managing Director of InnoVentures, recognized the disconnect firsthand, while leading strategic innovation efforts from within large corporations.

“Obviously large companies are not startups. They evolved differently, they function differently,” said Spitsberg. “Some CEOs try to fight it by putting dedicated entrepreneurial groups in place. It’s an important first step, but there’s more to do. One challenge—what big organizations really lack, innately—is the capability to execute. This requires focus on the right opportunity and learning capabilities. From there, how do you integrate this new mindset with your core business? What I find is, typically missing are the clarity and structure for how to deliver and answer these questions in a smart, efficient way.”

InnoVentures’ Agile Innovation System is a unified, adaptable organizational framework for innovation execution. The methodology creates a pipeline for bringing new ideas to market.

AIS has been road-tested—in boardrooms, within context of business- and thought-leadership, Fortune 500 clients and global corporations. As a proponent of innovation frameworks and practices for new growth capacity, InnoVentures has thoroughly vetted and applied AIS, identifying three stages for reliable, agile learning and expansion: identifying worthwhile opportunity; learning through experimentation; organization structure for market delivery.
