In this webinar with CreativeLabs, Henning will introduce the values-based innovation management framework and present unique facilitation methods. He will demonstrate ethnographic customer research to drive product and service innovation, values-based business modelling and normative management reviews to define values, purpose, mission and vision. Each will be exemplified with selected cases from UXBerlin consulting projects and the new Special Interest Group on “Values-Based and Sustainable Innovation”. You are welcome to join!

At this year’s GRONEN conference we demonstrate how to work with 45 business model design patterns that support ecological, social, and economic value creation. We are inviting you to join our workshop on “Sustainable Business Design with Business Model Patterns” (registration required).

We are giving a preview of the forthcoming book on Sustainable Business Model Design - 45 Patterns at ISPIM 2020 virtual conference.

At the Leuphana University in Lüneburg (Germany) Henning and Florian are offering an executive education module on values-based innovation management. Further information in German please find here.

We contribute with two new articles to the new compendium published by Springer. A case study of Aravind Eye Care Systems analyses an outstanding successful case of values-based innovation in processes, products, services, business model and even networks reaching beyond the company. The book is so far published in German only.  

We have been invited to contribute to the 16th Innovation Forum of the Daimler and Benz Foundation in Berlin. Henning will reflect upon "Tools and Orientation in Corporate Innovation". Together with Florian Lüdeke-Freund we will then moderate a hands-on excercise in values-based business modelling.   © Matti Hillig

How can Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) become a mainstream building component? What are the motivating values behind such a development, and what business models should be pursued to support these values? We are working for an international group of reseachers and practitioners of the International Energy Agency in Uppsala, Sweden. We captured directive values in European BIPV business to develop new business models for making BIPV a mainstream building component. Based on an initial collection and discussion of values 18 new business ideas have been identified. Two of these ideas were elaborated upon using the Business Innovation Kit, named Power2Consumers and Photovoltaic Catalogue. Two groups worked to sketch viable business models for each ideas and described five business models in more detail. Thanks and regards to a highly engaged group of participants!
