Strategic innovation: To dare to think with the heart

Presented by:
Arne Stjernholm Madsen, Ericsson Denmark


"To dare to think with the heart" could be the slogan of the new business logic, emerging in the transition from information age to an age of emotion and meaning. Strategic innovation is in the center of this transition, blending creativity and strategy into a powerful discipline of future business opportunities. This presentation will be an eye witness report from a person, who walks the talk of strategic innovation, utilizing a creative background from graphic design and visualization in a strategic job as business developer at Ericsson Denmark.

The presentation will explore the underlying principles of strategic innovation as well as the techniques that make it come through. Experiences from development of the "Ericsson Home Communication Concept" will illustrate both principles and tools of the new battlefield of business:
  • "The scope game": Forget about new products - this is strategic innovation

  • Analysis as well as synthesis in one cross-disciplinary core team

  • Alien inspiration: Use philosophers!

  • Invite the end users to express their values and quality of life

  • Use visualizations and metaphors for concepts and visions

  • Take a grand step back - to achieve a new, holistic approach

  • Recipes don't cook your food, and reports don't make business!
