Our view on the buzz-word "innovation"

For us, innovation is a way of thinking, a value-adding novelty, and the process to get there.

In the end, innovation is the constant change a company needs to become future-proof. Especially in a growingly changing and complex world, adapting to market developments and -needs is more important than ever. Anyhow, today "94% of global executives are disappointed with their companies innovation performance." (McKinsey).

We believe innovation can be even more than just help the company to survive. With the right mindset & tools, work becomes more fulfilling, personal success more likely, and wellbeing at work can be boosted for each one of us. As we are convinced that fun is a crucial part of successful innovation, we focus on tools that are not only effective and efficient but also help to enjoy working alone or with your colleagues.

DAY8 Way - Training method

Learning by Doing

Our trainings are hands-on and interactive. No one-way talks by a teacher but collaborative development of content and practical exercises based on real-life experiences.

In our webinar series, depending on the topic we focus on giving insights and tips on where to start or focus on exercising specific topics. We always end with a reflection round & Q&A.

For each learning style

Whether you are an auditory, visual, motoric, or communicative learner - our trainings are based on all channels. A clear training structure of explanation, visualization, application and discussion stimulates all senses and therefore supports sustainable learning.

Fun

Trainings are often boring and focussed on content exclusively. We at DAY8 believe that fun is an important part of self-development and that if we engage in positive emotions it supports the learning process. After all, without fun, we wouldn't do what we do. And this is what every attendee will feel when having a training with us.

Who runs the training?

The training will be lead by Fritz Seidel, Co-owner of DAY8 innovation Advisory.

DAY8 is focussing on helping businesses to overcome hurdles when it comes to develop and implement change and innovation. Most of our clients are based in Switzerland and from the startup field or leading markets in FMCG, ICT, Media or sustainability.

After decades in corporate business and several years of experience in the startup sector, the two founders started to dig deeper into the best frameworks to succeed when it comes to building up things or changing existing ones. They saw too often that businesses fail when it comes to innovation projects - be it Startups or grown-up Corporates. We are here to help and give impulses to overcome those hurdles.
