- Strategic innovation, which involves transforming the basis of competition, the brand or organisation internally
- Product or service innovation, which is the exploitation of ideas to deliver something to the market place
- Process innovation, i.e. new and better ways to do old things, e.g. cost reduction, defect elimination
Human Dynamics can help in the following areas:
- 24 hour, one day or even shorter innovation strategy summits, where you get real progress in a short time
- New product / service development consultancy, converting ideas into innovations
- Turning great ideas into prototype designs in partnership with Imperial College London
- Marketing strategies and tactics to ensure your innovation diffuses rapidly into the marketplace
- Innovation masterclasses in partnership with the Judge Institute, University of Cambridge

- Organisational 'illnesses' e.g. poor motivation, performance problems
Case Study:
Ideas into innovations
Situation
Our client is a telecommunications company, facing severe competition on a global basis. It is looking to produce innovations within the brand, its products and its processes, so that it may generate short and long term growth and contain the cost base to improve shareholder value.The client requirement
To generate a range of innovative opportunities each worth minimum £100 M per annum. Previous activity had not focused on innovations of sufficient scale.
What we did
We designed and ran a series of innovation workshops to address the challenge. We also provided advice and development so that the company could continue this work after we had transferred the necessary knowledge, skills and values.
The result
In one 24 hour workshop, a wide range of strategic, product and process innovations were generated, from which 11 passed all the tests of implementation and each one was judged to be of greater value than the £100 M per annum target. Five of these were initially implemented with a number of others following on. There have been other beneficial spin offs from this work.
What the client said
Human Dynamics organised and facilitated several valuable innovation workshops for us and we would recommend them to others seeking to engender greater creativity and innovation within their organisations. We found the approach directed by Peter Cook to be very customer-focused, energising, and conducive to creating an innovative environment. Human Dynamics always responded to our requirements quickly, and consistently added value with helpful suggestions.
