The Disruptive Innovation and Exponentialism Workshops are a service divided into two phases: group sessions and ‘in-company’ workshops.

 

Phase 1: Disruptive innovation group sessions

Participating companies will be able to participate in four group work sessions to explore how to innovate and generate disruptive initiatives through exponential technologies.

Through techniques such as design thinking, gamification and other methods, the generation of ideas from a new perspective is encouraged and the creation of an environment conducive to innovation is promoted. A key aspect of the disruptive innovation workshops is their practical and action-oriented nature.

The four workshops will be held over two face-to-face days:

  • 31th May, sessions 1 & 2
    • Introduction: the new mindset and leadership in the digital age
    • New business models and emerging business strategies
  • 7th June, sessions 3 & 4
    • Digital strategy evolution methodologies
    • Metrics and financing for projects

An opportunity to experiment, prototype and test new ideas in a controlled environment, encouraging iteration and continuous learning. These group sessions allow emerging solutions to be validated and refined prior to implementation. In addition, they provide guidance, resources and technical support to ensure that participants can get the most out of the experience.

Phase 2: Individual “in-company” workshops

In addition to the group sessions, selected companies will have four individual ‘in-company’ workshops in which they will be able to validate their ideas with the collaboration of experts from different thematic areas; they will have access to emerging technologies and will connect with other innovation initiatives at regional, national and international levels.

The themes of the four workshops, held during the month of June, will be as follows:

  • Workshop 1: From the idea to the business model. How to transform an idea into a concrete business model.
  • Workshop 2: From the business model to the customer. How to validate the target audience and how to approach the marketing and sales strategy.
  • Workshop 3: From the customer to the business case. What are the necessary resources to carry out your business model.
  • Workshop 4: From business case to go-to-market. How to plan and execute the final stage of your business development.

The Disruptive Innovation and Exponentialism Workshops are aimed at Catalan companies with digitalization projects that want to create new disruptive initiatives. The group sessions of disruptive innovation have a limited capacity of 40 places. Of these, a selection of a maximum of 20 will be able to access the individual 'in-company' workshops. Both if the number of applications exceeds the available places and for the selection of participants in the individual workshops, ACCIÓ will select attendees based on the prioritization criteria established by the Open Innovation and Disruption area. The company's digitalization or disruptive innovation project will be assessed, as well as the commitment of the management team to it, among others. The Disruptive Innovation and Exponentialism Workshops are a free service for participants thanks to funding from the European program Digital Innovation Hub of Catalonia (DIH4CAT). The complete realization of the service, with the group workshop and the individual workshop, is valued at 1,500 euros.
