4 phases of orchestrating innovation


Phase 1 – defining strategy

We analyse the challenges and formulate a strategy for change. Orchestrators identify who to involve and how to fund it. A clear picture of the common challenge emerges and the contours of the solution(s) become visible.

Phase 2 – connecting and shaping

In phase 2 we connect relevant parties from the ecosystem and weigh up interests and willingness to change. In this way we add detail to the strategy and planning from phase 1. This will involve a go/no-go moment for the stakeholders.

Phase 3 – directing

In phase 3 we finalise the collaboration and initiative. We do this by:

  • Formalising the collaboration;
  • Realising the infrastructure;
  • Validating innovations;
  • Developing the ecosystem and sustainable business models;
  • Building the portfolio and;
  • Attracting new partners.

Phase 4 – adjusting

In the fourth and final phase we monitor and analyse the functioning of the ecosystem and progress towards the innovation goal. We carry out analyses and make adjustments. After all, no two journeys are the same, ecosystems do not always work as expected, and developments never stand still.
