Why does this matter ?
Nowadays, many companies are focused on operating within their current business model and lack the appropriate tools to explore new business opportunities. When exploring these opportunities, they often apply their existing operating models, which frequently leads to failure.
This innovation bootcamp teaches product, marketing, and strategy teams how to reassess their processes for developing new products and offers.
