What is a 21 ways set?21 ways to strategise and innovate is a set of critical questions,

checklists and examples from all over the world to help you innovate.

21 ways sets provide cross-industry inspiration for: product and service

ideas, product development, process and service innovations, government

innovations, business model innovation new business development and

defining strategic directions.

Based on a client’s question, we extract important trends, successful

innovations, principles or evolutions. The list of 21 principles changes per

question. 21 ways sets are useful in individual or group brainstorms, in new

business development and strategy sessions.

Combining the input with an interactive engaging presentation and/or

workshop clearly helps to come up with new connections, great ideas and

enriched concepts.

This set is created as example/preview by Marc Heleven & Ramon Vullings.
