Learning and Innovating
“Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did
yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.”
William Pollard
Do we manage risk in innovation?
FinanceCulture Product TechnologyStrategy People
Our experience helping companies launch their innovation strategy has led us to believe that, to a great extent, one of the most important challenges facing companies that have started out on this journey is without doubt intelligent risk management.
In our company we have six key areas that must be taken into account for this kind of risk management: Culture, Strategy, People,
Products, Technology and Finance. Focusing on these six core areas allows us to build highly competitive innovation models that are sustainable in the medium and long term.
This document outlines the tools that KIM uses to respond to needs in any of the above areas in order to help you build an INNOVATIVE organisation, from its most anthropological aspect to its most advanced solution.
Below are a set of questions we would like you to ask yourself, which we hope will inspire you to take the next step towards innovation in your company.
Are we prepared to adapt to and/or pre-
empt the market?
What new businesses should we enter in order to maintain
sustainable growth?
Do we have the right people to develop all of the initiatives we should
launch?
Are we designing the products and services
that best meet the requirements of our
customers?
Do we have technology that lets us provide the
value our customers demand?
Are we optimising the use of financial
resources to develop all of the initiatives we
should launch?
Three service areas

AppraiseIt is clear that before making any decision about our company we need to systematically and thoroughly assess the initial situation, in order to identify the areas that require action.
LearnInnovation requires that the company be continually learning. The sources of new knowledge are diverse. We believe there are four key areas for reducing the risk of our investment: People, Markets, Opportunities and Methods.
MakeOne of the most common barriers to innovation is inertia, the inertia of continuing to do the same thing we did yesterday.
It can be tremendously difficult to break this dynamic. In order to overcome this barrier we work with innovation teams to carry out high-impact projects that make it possible to launch an innovative culture.

Evaluate to improve
Culture of Innovation
By measuring a company’s culture of innovation we can identify the strengths where future initiatives may be leveraged, as well as the weakness to be corrected.
We use the InnoQuotient methodology developed by Jay Rao and Joe Weintraub from Babson College.
1
Innovation system
We analyse the company’s current innovation system through interviews with the people involved in its processes and in-depth analysis of the company’s finished projects.
This analysis allows us to identify areas of the system to improve and plan suitable improvements.
2
Processes and Tools
Any innovation system is a set of processes and tools that define a common methodology among different users.
By measuring their performance we can quickly and efficiently improve the system.
3
A good innovation system must pursue specific and measurable results.
By identifying and measuring these results we can determine if our innovation system is “healthy” and if we are heading in the direction intended.

People
Whether our company targets the final consumer or not, its success will always depend on the people involved in its value chain.
Having a thorough understanding of how people act in our business allows us to improve and prevent barriers that are often not visible at first glance.
Markets
Getting access to relevant information about new markets that we want to target is no easy task. The field needs to be thoroughly explored and an understanding of the drivers and the rules of the game is required.
If it is a known market, we help you design a study plan and to collect quality information.
Opportunities
They say that there are seven kinds of opportunities. Knowing how to correctly understand and define these opportunities is key to starting to innovate in the right direction.
We can help you explore and define the challenges your company faces.
Having the best innovation tools and methods is key. We develop customised training plans for innovation teams, product development, marketing, etc.
Design thinking, Lean start-up, Customer development and Agile PM are just a few of the skills on the KIM team.

Make it happen
Projects
Innovation often involves an extra workload that companies must learn to assimilate. To overcome this first hurdle, we work hand in hand with the company to carry out highly complex projects and ensure results in a reasonable timeframe.
Events
Sharing innovation with the rest of the company is extremely important both because of its infectiousness and because it acknowledges internal discipline.
We help with the design, planning and execution of innovation-related events.
Communication
One of the most important tasks when dealing with innovation is how it is communicated (idea
campaigns, knowledge management, innovation day, defining challenges, open innovation, mailings, intranet, etc.).
We are experts in promoting innovation projects in highly technological environments.
The perfect execution of the innovation process does not always mean success: we know that commercializing innovation is one of the most widespread difficulties among businesses.
KIM is an expert in knowledge transfer and can help make your company’s innovation more profitable.

Tools (I)Ethnographic observation is a research method based on fieldwork, in which a large volume of information is collectedthrough interviews or conversations with people involved in a process or environment.
The result of the qualitative interviews is a broad and thorough understanding of the motivations, gear shifters and desires of a group of individuals who share a culture and a way of doing things.
This information can be used to design services, processes and products that are highly “meaningful” for people who will be involved in its deployment, be it as users, recipients or implementers.
Tools (II)The Profile segmentation map is a tool that makes it possible to visually classify different company profiles depending on theirattitude at work and their attitude towards innovation.
The Profile segmentation mapidentifies the actors who will be involved in promoting the culture of innovation within the company.
Co-Creation recognises the power of people and makes it possible to extract innovative concepts in the process. It also expands the company’s ability to take a close look at its offer and capabilities, thereby enabling it to take advantage of opportunities for business and for operational improvement that might not be visible at first glance.
Tools (III)Co-creation is a technique that gets people involved in generating ideas together. Co-creating means that the companyand its stakeholders come together to design the experiential environment at every point of interaction in order to createmutual value.
• Meet the user’s real needs (Consumer Centric Innovation), which are difficult to detect and translate objectively.
• Align new products/services with consumer trends. Find new business opportunities with different business models.
• Set the company apart from the competition. Add value in a different way.
• Add value through technology. Become difficult to copy and be competitive on the basis of knowledge management and innovation.
• Match new products/services with the capabilities of the company and its supplier networks.
Tools (IV)With the ConceptLab® we can generate innovative concepts for new products, services and strategies through an exhaustivestudy of people and how they interact with the market and its environment.
The research of emergent behaviours, the analysis of specific contexts and the detection of new market trends become corestrategies for identifying innovative concepts, that is, those concepts that manage to sustainably generate greater valueand socioeconomic impact for the company.
• Display ideas for business models in an effective and agile way.
• Build and test viable business model options.
• Evaluate opportunities and relationships and select the best option with the different stakeholders.
Tools (V)
The Business Model Canvas is a strategic management and venture methodology. It makes it possible to describe, design,test, invent and improve the business model. It can also be used to design and generate business models collaboratively.
