Instead of asking a small innovation team to find and develop every opportunity, Uusía enables people across the organisation to work on opportunities they see through their customers, markets and day-to-day work.
When more people can explore opportunities, the organisation can pursue many more potential sources of growth at the same time. The central team can then focus its resources on the opportunities that show the strongest evidence of potential.
/ 01
People identify opportunities through what they know about customers, products, operations and markets.
/ 02
They work out what the opportunity could become and build something specific enough to put in front of customers.
/ 03
They find out whether customers actually value it, rather than relying on internal opinion.
/ 04
The evidence gives the organisation a basis for deciding which opportunities to develop, change, park or stop.
The Pilot Programme
We work with selected teams to uncover opportunities already visible inside the business, develop the strongest ones and take them into the market.
Stage 1 · Opportunity mapping
2 months
We work with selected teams to identify customer problems, operational inefficiencies and unmet needs already visible inside the organisation.
Outcome: A pipeline of opportunities ready to be developed and tested.
Stage 2 · Venture testing
3 months
Selected opportunities are developed into propositions and taken to customers. Teams use what they learn to refine the opportunity and establish whether there is enough evidence to take it further.
Outcome: A small number of opportunities with evidence of customer interest and a clear basis for the next investment decision.
Is Uusía another employee ideas platform?
Does this replace our innovation team?
Do employees need to be innovators or entrepreneurs?
How is success measured?
Who owns the intellectual property?
How much time is expected from employees?
Who decides which opportunities get developed?
Every organisation is different. The first step is a conversation about where Uusía fits, the challenges you're trying to solve, and whether a pilot makes sense.
