What is Innovation Due Diligence and what value does it bring to the user?

A key problem within innovation development is the lack of real market insights. Enormous investments are lost annually because no one asked the customers what they value, or wrong questions where asked to the wrong customer group.

This is the paramount value offering of Innovation Due Diligence; test and align development with real market learnings early on, not after 10 years and millions of Euros spent.

Based on our learning these are some of the values Innovation Due Diligence brings to innovation projects!

  • Increase your success rate in research applications – IDD is structured for you to gain key insights on the commercial value of your research
  • Find and validate your target markets and understand already now how you could reach them!
  • Align development with benefits actually valued by your target markets – don’t build unnecessary features
  • Data driven approach to say NO to investment – If you’re going to fail , fail early on!

The learning process

The learning process will go through 3 key steps, which all build upon each other and together form a structured method of understanding where you are, where the markets are and directly testing these markets to gain real insights affecting the innovation progress.
