Agile innovation
by Francesc Güell
Before there was the 'possibility' to innovate. Then came the need.
Later, the need became a rush, and so on until recently.
But now we come into innovation urgency
Agile innovation addresses the three critical drivers of success: accelerating the innovation process; reduce the risks inherent in uncertainty and engage the organization and its broader ecosystem in the effort.

Creating a new company is an exciting process in which, from the beginning, two factors should not be missing: innovation and agility.
Neither our environment and culture, nor the administration, will facilitate the process. Especially in terms of financing and support for new projects.
As for people, what is most striking is the lack of knowledge in basic business processes and the loneliness with they have to face decisions that can later be key.

Webinar: Innovation urgency
The objective is to convey the need and urgency of innovation in all organizations and in all areas.
The thesis is that innovation is key to improving the macro and micro economy, and that in times of crisis, the most innovative companies and territories do better.
The existence of barriers to innovation slows down economic and social development in the areas in which we operate.
Accelerated and abrupt changes such as the current crisis caused by Covid-19 have further catalyzed the urgency of innovation and its necessary financing.
For emergency innovation we must accelerate the management of our innovation projects, reviewed and selected on the one hand, and extend the critical mass of innovative projects and companies in our environment.
What is the definition of strategy?
Suggested that a strategy be 35 words to ensure understanding across the organisation, there appears to be confusion.
Dr. Pete Compo, author of the upcoming book “The Emergent Approach”™ to Strategy, reviewed over 70 definitions from many sources.
A strategy is the central rule of a framework, designed to unify all actions and decisions around busting the bottleneck to achieving the foremost aspiration.
This definition retains what is useful in the 70 definitions and solves the identified problems.

European Innovation: EIS 2020
European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS 2020). The latest edition with the 2019 data was published by the European Commission on June 23, 2020. In the midst of a crisis due to the consequences of Covid-19. It is the first time that the United Kingdom is not included as an EU country and Portugal joins for the first time in the group of “strongly innovative” members.
The experience of facing crisis…
Before facing the pandemic, we were due to climate change.
The planet, we said, is in danger. Our Earth threatened.
Now we see that we are the ones in danger. The earth not only is not ours, but in little more than a month, it begins to show us how it recovers, and in one way or another, it is cleaning and regenerating.
The experience of sailing in a stormy environment can make us change course if we want to survive or even emerge stronger.
Innovation and performance
Innovation and performance are not contradictory terms, but on the contrary, they are complementary. So that the higher innovation the better the performance.
However, they can produce tensions in the organization, since one is directed to the future and the other is a subject of the present. There are two basic processes that compete for resources. That is why I speak of 'harmonizing' innovation with performance.
Innovation is the fundamental resource to improve performance. But innovation is a change and it is a process that must be covered by the entire organization.

The strategy on one page
A single page should be sufficient to effectively communicate vision and strategy formulated through a few main or strategic axes.
That's why we present a model that is:
* A way to express the vision and strategy in a clear and summarized way.
* A tool to help SMEs.
* An efficient formulation with limited time and resources.
* A guide to define the strategic axes and clear objectives.
* Simplify communication.
* The construction is based on what we call "Strategy Tree".

Innovate
If we say to innovate is to bring good ideas to reality, with success and continuously, then is not the result of genius, chance or luck, it's a process. A process that is designed, implemented and improved in all companies and organizations and favors the creation of an innovative culture.
Innovating is no longer an option, it is imperative and it means:
.-Do something new. Innovate in products or services.
- Positioning in the market or segment in a different or new way. Innovate in the value proposition and in the positioning in the market.
- Do things differently. Innovate internal processes.
- Change paradigm. Create a new "mental model" or category.
