The Strategic Innovation Line designs and adds value to a range of methods and tools that enable a more efficient approach of strategy and innovation. These methods and tools are based on the research work and experience of the highly qualified staff of this research line. The objective of these methods is to encourage the participation of people and partners in an industrial environment in an open and participatory process for a more efficient management of strategy and to enhance innovation in organisations.
DIVERSSIA OBJECTIVE
Perform preliminary designs of business models using identified opportunities for innovation with this method.
CHARACTERISTICS
Guided process by expert users of the method aimed at companies that are on the onset of looking for new lines of business in new sectors on the basis of their internal capabilities. It is based on the key concepts of the state of the art in the area of Business Management (Identification of Opportunities, Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Marketing). Identify and assess possible innovative business models cross checking them with internal and external experts who will provide support throughout the process.
EXPLOITT OBJECTIVE
The objective of this method is to systematically assess a set of pre-competitive technologies and perform preliminary designs of business models that tackle opportunities for innovation on the market and that bring economic benefit to companies. This method is also applicable to European/national projects where the development of technologies must be done taking into account future exploitability on current markets and sectors.

COMODE OBJECTIVE
To provide companies with a model for collaboration with Technological Centres that enable organisations to successfully pursue collaborative relationships. It seeks to improve the competitiveness of the customer company by increasing its technological differentiation. To do this, it performs a double mission, on the one hand, aligning the research objectives of IDEKO with the needs of the customer and, on the other, advancing the transfer of technologies resulting from R&D projects, transforming them into value on the market.
CHARACTERISTICS
The COMODE method was conceived to provide an answer to a key goal in many companies: the need to collaborate with research agencies for the development of their technological innovation strategies. This is a flexible collaboration model adaptable to all types of customer: from the timely provision of technological services to the establishment of multi-annual R&D plans and, in between, the provision of support to the customer's development strategy for product, process or service through the implementation of R&D projects.
COMPETE OBJECTIVE
The objective of this method is to design, develop and implement in different types of organisations an "ad-hoc" Competitive Intelligence system that supports the strategic, tactical and operational decision-making processes.
CHARACTERISTICS
The COMPETE method it is a simple guided roadmap that responds to the need of a system that allows transformation of data into intelligence and thus support the decision-making process in organisations. COMPETE® is a very valid methodology for companies to define and implement CI units relatively rapidly. Much of the success of this method is due to the large number of implementations running and the support of a professional tool in Competitive Intelligence called INNGUMA that automates the processes to collect, analyse, store and distribute strategic information up and down the business.
