Leading Innovation: From Idea to Rollout
One day to take a promising idea through to rollout, without letting it stall in meetings or committing to it too fast. Project selection, hypotheses to test, prototype and pilot, the decision to commit resources, scaling up and supporting teams: each step is applied to an innovation project in your company, whether a product, a process or a service.

- Distinguish product, process, organisational and service innovation, and the risks specific to each
- Select the ideas to develop with explicit criteria and a balanced portfolio
- Identify a project's critical hypotheses and test them with a prototype or pilot
- Organise the decision points: continue, redirect, stop
- Prepare the rollout: resources, procedures, training, buy-in from the teams
Programme
Day 1 — morning
- Why good ideas do not come to fruition: no owner, no resources, no decision
- Types of innovation and levels of risk: improvement, extension, breakthrough
- Selection and portfolio: criteria of value, feasibility and alignment with strategy
- Critical hypotheses: what must be true for the project to succeed
Day 1 — afternoon (workshop)
- Prototype and pilot on a line, a site or a customer segment, with success indicators set in advance
- Milestones and steering committee: who decides, on what evidence
- Rollout: procedures, training, maintenance, regulatory compliance, change management
- Workshop: roadmap for an innovation project in your company, from the retained idea to rollout
- Knowledge test and presentation of the roadmaps
Teaching methods
- Innovation cases in agri-food, packaging, logistics and services
- Workshop on a real project brought by the company, with its owner present
- Simulation of a decision committee at a project milestone
- Templates handed out: project sheet, hypotheses register, pilot test plan
- Groups of 6 to 12 participants, ideally from several functions

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to have an innovation project already?
It is preferable. The afternoon workshop builds the roadmap of a real project. Otherwise we propose a case close to your sector and size.
How does it differ from "Generating New Ideas: Team Creativity"?
Creativity produces the ideas. This day starts once an idea has been retained: how to test it, decide to commit resources and get the organisation to adopt it.
Does the course cover intellectual property?
It flags the moment when the question arises, in particular before showing a prototype outside the company, without going into patent law, which is a specialist matter.
Can we be supported beyond the training?
Yes. ACG runs transformation projects with a charter, schedule, steering committee and benefits tracking, as part of its diagnostic and transformation work.
