With its expertise in management of technology and innovation, Grenoble Ecole de Management has recently launched the first French Discontinuous Innovation Lab (DIL) network.
Founded by John Bessant from the Advanced Institute of Management Research (UK), Discontinuous Innovation Lab is an international network bringing together researchers and managers in order for them to combine their forces to create innovative competencies, best practices and knowledge.
Discontinuous Innovation Lab is about institutions breaking the mould and thinking out of the box in order to create new business models, services, products and thus new market opportunities.
The basics of DIL is to bring together two worlds, that of research and business, often detached from one another in order for them to generate new opportunities, with each party sharing what it knows and its experiences across boundaries.
It is the “Centre for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CITE)” from Grenoble Ecole de Management which leads the French Discontinuous Innovation Lab with the mission of encouraging researchers and managers to collaborate on a common platform.
About Discontinuous Innovation Lab
DIL is an international and interdisciplinary group of innovation researchers. Interested in generating knowledge about how organizations can cope with disruptive or discontinuous innovation, its activities are designed to have strong impact on business practice by offering access to latest thinking in innovation research, open space for cross-boundary exchange, restricted access to invited participants only, international networking, joint learning and the potential to build a strong “community of practice”.
