Mark Apps, CEO of Organlike shared his thoughts; “The Innovation Canvas is a simple but highly effective tool that helps bring a collegiate view and clear focus on challenges and priorities for successful innovation. It encouraged open debate and evaluation around a flexible framework founded in many years’ experience of successful innovation and the full breadth of requirements that enable innovation to work. This has given Organlike clarity, a shared vision and prioritisation of tasks for success”.
Clean Growth UK identified an opportunity to use Innovate UK KTN’s Innovation Canvas as a diagnostic tool in parallel with their own needs assessment tool for companies developing clean or green business innovation projects. Read more.
