Inside the project
Focus
How can ideas be turned into value-added products and services?
The Valfsel project focused on connecting the organization's training needs to new areas of value. The organization wanted a project that would generate added value beyond its existing business.
Added value begins with identifying a gap in the market. It is completed through a process that connects the idea with the customer.
“Innovation Management & Strategy” training/service was delivered by Bora Kaykayoğlu.
What was usually missing in new product development was not ideas, but a shared system for evaluating and developing them.
Scope
We delivered training on innovation management for the organization. We also covered strategy as part of the training.
Implementation
HOW WAS THE INNOVATION PROCESS DESIGNED IN THIS PROJECT?
We designed the innovation process not as an awards ceremony, but as a value stream in which ideas are selected and developed. At every stage, teams worked with their own market data.
Innovation is not the job of a single department. It is the result of how an organization learns and makes decisions.

Kaykayoğlu project insight
