How the Lab Works We have begun to build an international network in which we – researchers and companies - can share our experience with innovation management in an environment of discontinuity. Our aim is to collaboratively identify and explore the best practice to deal with this challenge. The first three years of our project are focussed on the key questions of searching for, selecting, and implementing discontinuous innovations respectively. In national workshops, innovation managers and academics meet to share relevant experiences and scientific approaches. Along the way, genuine research is conducted on a wide, international database. Once a year an international conference gives a synopsis of the results yielded in the national workshops. Our 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«. It is the aim to build an ongoing, interactive community that fosters the creation and sharing of knowledge around discontinuous innovation.
