Innovation methods

There are many ways to help bring good ideas to life

We work to uncover, analyse and test new ways of supporting innovation from across sectors and around the world. These techniques, tools and processes are collectively known as innovation methods.

The next generation of innovators will have a vast new range of opportunities compared to the last. We want to spread our knowledge of the methods as widely as possible so that individuals, organisations, or governments can exploit new trends and increase their capacity for innovation, to solve problems and support communities in most need.
