Asking the big questions about innovation labs
Innovation Labs are a hot topic in business at the moment — but what’s the best way to launch and run one? What are the biggest challenges to success, the best practices, and the key measurement metrics? We ask these questions because at present, nobody seems to have the same answer.
Here at Made by Many we’ve been looking into innovation labs in the last few months, and we’ve compiled our findings into a new report which we publish today (get a copy by filling your name and email in the form below).
