Programme Overview
Innovative businesses thrive. They create and capture superior value over sustained timeframes, and in times of crisis are more likely to survive. A strong innovation plan will drive an organisation to deliver on successful, innovative products, services and business models which will, in turn, achieve growth and scale in Irish and overseas markets. Enterprise Ireland is delivering this Innovation Planning workshop to support clients to develop a clear and coherent innovation plan and access the key tools to implement it.
