The Novelty Quest consulting unit represents the “apply and refine” step of the knowledge infusion cycle. Here we utilize the models and tools from the research and intelligence functions for direct application with our partners. The bulk of our work is to understand how our partners’ environment works to be able to propose professional recommendations for how our partners can benefit the most from our discoveries. We consider every consulting project an opportunity to learn, refine and further improve our models and thus enhance the quality of delivery.
Novelty Quest focuses on two key fields – innovation management and digitization – and provides services for every step required to implement and maintain core processes with our partners.
Novelty Quest provides services to help our partners transform in our expert fields. We work according to a model where we assess, plan and implement innovation- and digitization processes by measuring current maturity, setting a strategy for a future vision, then defining a concrete implementation plan to transform towards the vision. The activities are always conducted in very intimate collaboration with the partner to ensure explicit accuracy in the delivery.
ASSESSMENT SERVICES
To assess a partner’s performance level in any of our fields we utilize thoroughly researched methods to measure the maturity of the organization in all aspects relevant to the field. The measures are compared to global best practices (where often 1 is having nothing and 5 is full alignment with all best practices in the area) to highlight what areas are underutilized and need more attention. This activity visualizes the gap between the current state and a hypothetical optimal state.
STRATEGY SERVICES
Once there is a measured current state to start from, we investigate in what direction to drive the development. Creative market intelligence and foresight functions will result in a vision for the partner as the leading light in a visionary strategy to set direction for the organization. The strategy will contain all the necessary guidelines to reflect the organization’s preferred dream position in 3-5 years and a description of goals to reach, and activities to pursue, to get there.
PLANNING SERVICES
To achieve the goals in the strategy we then create a very detailed action plan to be able to deliver on the strategy concretely. The action plan describes the phases of the implementation and how they correlate and interrelate and usually covers 3-4 years of transformation work. Often a few pre-studies are required to carve out the details in the plan.
