The innovation incubation Centre is focused mainly of service and product innovation. The initial focus is on start-ups.
Product-centric Innovations
Product innovations address the value, features, and quality of a company’s product. This type of innovation could be also subdivided into two:
1. Designing new products or disruptive innovation, and
2. Incremental updates and line extensions of existing ones that add substantial value.
Service-centric Innovations
Service innovations could be also divided into two categories:
1. First one is similar to product-centric innovations but applied to companies that deliver services such as financial institutions, banks, etc.
2. Other category is about service innovations that ensure and enhance the utility, performance, and apparent value of a company proposition.
“They make a product easier to try, use, and enjoy; they reveal features and functionality customers might otherwise overlook; and they fix problems and smooth rough patches in the customer journey.”
