HOW WE UNDERSTAND INNOVATION
Innovating is to create new futures, is a way of being and a constant search that occurs through people. At Yuken we see innovation as a way to generate impact and transformation. We identify the purpose of a transformation process giving it sense and coherence, to let the organizations build their own innovation capacity, reaching their goals and generating a greater internal and external value.
There is no easy high risk, ambiguous or uncertain activity and innovating is not the exception. So, how to learn innovation from design? How to achieve innovation in a consistent and predictable way?
To give a good answer to these questions it is needed a competent team regarding processes, methods and tools management that promote the development of agile solutions and a real impact implementation, but also considering cognitive and emotional limitations management.
We make the right questions
To innovate we must consider an innovation project as a path of learning and discovery regarding: (i) What is the actual problem we have to solve? (ii) What is the best solution to solve that hidden problem? and (iii) What is the best way to implement that solution in a sustainable way over time?
We train agents of change
We work establishing essential capacities for an strategic, critical and innovative development inside organizations to let them -after our intervention- put it into practice in an autonomous and organic way, and to let them see in innovation a suitable and vibrant path towards sustainability and to accelerate its positive effects regarding the economic, environmental and social fields.
We are global benchmark
We have our own methodology, internationally validated because of its effectiveness on promoting learning and developing innovations inside organizations. We are moved by always updating ourselves, designing and generating new contents to obtain a greater impact in our interventions.
We promote transformation
At Yuken we strongly believe that innovation is a must, it is possible and it can be learnt. That is our premise and also our duty in every project we promote. Enabling innovation and learning from the design field to reinvent a world where people, companies and institutions are capable of generating change, empathize, understand and solve accordingly the necessities of a society that looks for answer and action.
