OVERVIEW

Digitalization and globalization have transformed the way how organizations can make use of external ideas, solutions and technologies. Instead of only relying on their internal innovation capabilities, they can explore new kinds of co-operations with accelerators, establish corporate incubators, tap into crowdsourcing, organize hackathons, and enter the open innovation process. Module 1 opens up the spectrum of digital excellence. It introduces decision-makers to new organizational forms of corporate entrepreneurship and is designed as a hands-on workshop for business model generation.

Based on a real-life challenge, the module then introduces Alex Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas as hands-on tools to inspire to enter the mindset of a corporate entrepreneur.
