It is of little concern to our customers, both now and in the future, how well we are organised, how good we are at cutting costs and reducing waste, or how many problems we have solved or how many we still have to deal with. Or how well we have met their needs up to now.

Our customers are only concerned about a few simple things about our products and services:

  • The products’ impact on their private and professional life
  • What value the products have from the customer’s point of view
  • Whether the products are perceived as unique and distinct in the market
  • The significance that the products have for them
  • How much the products cost and whether or not the advantages to be gained are worth that price
  • If the products are available when they need them.

So, crisis or not, if we want to thrive in a context where the amount of products and services from all over the world is increasing dramatically, often causing dramatic drops in prices, we must become effective in introducing innovative high-impact products and services before our competitors do.

The purpose of the IMPACT INNOVATION OVERVIEW training is to offer you, in just two days, a comprehensive blueprint of the business system that allows you to continually innovate with high-impact in the marketplace. The training course provides a sequential, clear and effective method for building an innovative, high-impact, differentiated and focused proposal that can open up new market areas. This method can then be put into practice into practice, successfully experimenting with it and guiding it with a system of coherent metrics, while at the same time acquiring the ability to exploit all the causes, both internal and external, in order to achieve your objectives with a reasonable cost and on time.
