Setting Up Your Innovation Team For Success

Design and build your innovation team.

The Moment's guide will walk you through a model to design and build your innovation team based on best practices we continue to use with clients. We'll walk you through a series of steps to unpack the challenge with your team and begin your journey.

Learn the right way to:

  • Structure a team
  • Scope your innovation projects
  • Identify and mitigate risks
  • Get buy-in from internal stakeholders
  • Build the best innovation team, and set yourself up for success
  •  

Innovation is more than a technology stack or a new idea; it’s a framework and a model to build a robust and competitive business.

Many business leaders and project owners, including service designers and product developers, are taking on complex innovation challenges that cut across internal silos and customer touch points. This work can be immensely challenging. 

Anticipate the pitfalls by arming yourself with the knowledge and tools to start—and continue—innovation work with eyes wide open.

We'll guide you to design services and products with cross-functional teams, and outline best practices to build innovation strategies, teams, and projects.
