Our Framework
Innovation is a natural human process. At its core, every successful innovation project navigates three interconnected universes — and the intersection of all three is where real value is created.
Any new or existing set of users having a need or desire for the innovation. Understanding demographics, socioeconomics, and desires to define and size your true addressable market.
Any process or knowledge — old or new — used to execute and make the innovation real. Covers business models, supply chains, intellectual property, regulatory environments, and cost modeling.
Any new or existing technology that enables the innovative idea to exist and be executed. Assessed through Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 1–9) to evaluate maturity and path to market.
Monterrey Innovation Program
Our flagship course introduces organizations and professionals to the Iterative Innovation Process — guided by a world-class instructor to develop a deep understanding of how top-level innovators create value.
Dr. Andreas Wankerl delivers live online lectures covering the full Iterative Innovation Process — tools, methods, and frameworks for structuring complex projects.
Real-life case scenarios — including analysis of Apple, Google, Amazon, and others — that progressively increase in complexity throughout the program.
Purpose-built software by Dr. Wankerl to manage knowledge, documentation, and auto-generate detailed innovation reports across the M-I-T dimensions.
Mentored through all essential steps: structuring, in-depth research, and high-quality reporting — with real ambiguity and decisions left to you.
