Several centres in India, particularly Bangalore, have emerged as global Research and Development (R&D) hubs for multinational companies. Indian firms have also ramped up spending on R&D and innovation. There is a clear need to improve the business success of these R&D and innovation initiatives to instill an innovation culture in these organizations, and build capabilities in the innovation ecosystem to translate the vast potential for innovation into successful products or services that address read problems even as they provide corporations returns on their investments.
How is it that some companies are able to innovate continuously? A simple answer to this is by being entrepreneurial. The role of intrapreneurship or the capacity to be entrepreneurial within the company is to transform ideas into actual products and services that add value and ultimately award the organization a sustainable competitive edge. Much of competitive edge that many organizations have is due to access to high technology that was once part of a laboratory. However, taking Intellectual Property that is available in laboratories to usable technology requires scientists, technologists and managers to thinking entrepreneurially.
The objective of this course is to impart the best practices to equip participants with tools and techniques that can be leveraged in order to make their teams, laboratories or organizations more innovative. There will be significant learnings from the innovation and start-up experiences in Israel. The three program directors bring varied experience in the area of innovation and entrepreneurship. They collaborate to manage a course helping Indian companies build technology partnerships with Israeli companies, which provides them insights into the relevance of the innovation experience in Israel to the context of India. This course embodies the learnings derived from over four years of collaboration and insights from the earlier two cycles in which the course was offered.
Through lectures, case studies and interactive round table discussions participants will learn – over a four-day learning experience – strategic innovation and entrepreneurship methodologies and learn to link them generate competitive advantage. The core of the workshop is a fundamental understanding of what is innovation on an entrepreneurial, corporate and national level. The workshop reflects intimate knowledge of the Israeli Startup Nation Eco-system in general and the experiences of Israeli innovative companies in particular, while critically examining their significance in the Indian context. Participants will learn lean startup and effectuation techniques to apply these insights and models in their own organizational context. They will also learn how large corporations can organize structures and processes to support innovation.
