That's why Innovation is an important managerial instrument - but many of us struggle with how to approach it. Gijs van Wulfen's Creating Innovative Products and Services is an essential read for anyone involved in new product or service design, brand development, new business development or organizational development because it 'unfuzzies' the front end of innovation with practical tools, effective checklists and an inspiring innovation route map. Gijs van Wulfen explains how to: Build a committed ideation team, compile a concrete innovation assignment and identify opportunities; Explore trends, technology and potential customers, then choose the most positive opportunities and customer insights to transfer to the next step - raise ideas; Develop twelve new promising innovative product or service concepts; Check the concepts in qualitative research among potential clients and improve them; Work the best into a tangible mini business case per product idea, and present them for decision making and adoption in the regular stage gate development process. The effective 5-step FORTH method presented in this book, will jump start your product and service innovations. The success of this practical approach is highlighted in a case study of one of the largest insurance companies in The Netherlands: Univé VGZ IZA Trias and is suitable for both business-to-consumer and business-to-business markets. Creating Innovative Products and Services has been written for directors, managers, advisors and innovation specialists in organisations who are responsible for, or involved in, product innovation. In it you will find practical guidance through every stage. 000455016 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000455016 650_0 $$aNew products. 000455016 650_0 $$aProduct management. 000455016 650_0 $$aProduction planning. 000455016 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000455016 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWulfen, Gijs van.$$tCreating innovative products and services.$$dFarnham, Surrey, England ; Burlington, VT : Gower Pub., c2011$$z9781409417545$$w(DLC) 2010044357$$w(OCoLC)676922963 000455016 8520_ $$bacq 000455016 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000455016 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=665370$$zOnline Access 000455016 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455016$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455016 980__ $$aEBOOK 000455016 980__ $$aBIB 000455016 982__ $$aEbook 000455016 983__ $$aOnline
