Workshop: Sustainability in the Innovation Process

Innovation is key to achieving sustainability

For that reason, we created this workshop to mix both concepts and evaluate your innovative ideas under the lenses of sustainability.

This workshop is for you who want to take steps towards increased sustainability, for example by investigating problems and thereby finding new ideas to renew your product portfolio.

The shorter version of the workshop is held in 3 hours and is aimed at mid management teams to understand the methodology for integrating sustainability in the innovation process, get acquainted with the tools and discuss how those tools could be adapted in their organization.

The complete workshop is held in four sessions of 4 hours each, for teams to work from scratch a product proposal, make a seeming analysis of the sustainability aspects and performance over the full life cycle of different design alternatives, and determine the pathways to follow in the product development to improve product’s sustainability.

The workshop is suitable for 4 to 12 people, and it is beneficial to bring in different function profiles that use to interact during the innovation of product development process to bring different perspectives of pros- and cons- of the analyzed alternatives.

“Well thought out and structured way, helped with the frameworks and made me feel like I learnt the tools not just an example or specific task”. Carl Bredin, NearbyStore.
