Developing enhanced creativity:
technology ideation workshops
What can be done with all the useful information generated by technological and competitive intelligence? How can it be made accessible to fuel the innovation process? In what format should it be shared with the teams involved in innovation projects (R&D, IP, marketing, etc.)? Technology exploration workshops are a complementary tool to monitoring your environment, enabling you to activate and transform the insights gained from intelligence gathering into avenues for reflection and action for R&D and innovation teams.
At TKM, we combine sector expertise, proven methodologies and tools to map an area of innovation and facilitate your technology ideation workshops.
Fostering creativity by leveraging monitoring
In a world where technological disruption is frequent and innovation is used in every way imaginable… not relying on augmented creativity can lead you down the wrong path and waste your time.
The augmented creativity process is essential to nurture – with the right ingredients! – your innovation projects.
Technological ideation workshops are particularly popular upstream of innovation projects and for opening up the range of possibilities.
They are used for:
- Translating monitoring into concrete implications
- Exploring possible uses of an emerging technology
- Enriching R&D projects
- Formulate testable hypotheses
- Aligning teams on previously explored trajectories
Why choose TKM to facilitate your workshops?
At TKM, we offer a customized approach to facilitating your augmented creativity workshops. We don't cultivate free ideation, but rather creativity informed by research and monitoring.
Indeed, scientific and technological monitoring plays a key role in this process.
- Providing raw material (technologies, trends, weak signals),
- To introduce productive constraints (framework, scope, assumptions),
- To play the role of cognitive trigger (breaking with beliefs).
Creativity relies on structured, monitored content
Thanks to our monitoring and analysis platform , we are able to monitor the evolution of technologies, patents, start-ups and strategic players in all sectors of activity, with data that is always up to date.
Our experts identify emerging technologies, high-growth market segments and unmet needs, facilitating the exploration of new opportunities and avenues for innovation.
Finally, we translate all this information into readable deliverables to guide your teams' enhanced creativity. We can also facilitate the workshops for you to maximize interactivity.
