Innovation Pioneers

Innovation Pioneers is a network founded by innovation practitioners from various industries, with experience in strategic, tactical as well as operational management of innovation. We have implemented structured innovation as well as managed successful launches of business critical innovations.

The network of innovation practitioners was initiated  in 2008 and has since aggregated, shared and developed tools, methodologies, knowledge and experiences.

OUR VISION is to build innovation capabilities through joint development and networking between top representatives from the innovation community.

OUR MISSION is to aggregate, produce and develop methodologies, processes, tools and experiences to enable increased innovation capabilities within the represented organizations as well as for society.

OUR GOAL is to spread knowledge, tools and insights around innovation, and thereby contribute to greater effectiveness, better performance and further growth in members' firms.

Through an expanded network of contacts and joint projects, we share information, experiences, methods and tools with each other.

The approach includes three perspectives:

• Individual
• Organization
• Society
