Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan, Sofia, 14 October 2016
Fernando Sousa – fernando.sousa@apgico.pt

2. THE CONCEPT OF INNOVATION
Creation of value
with impact on the
national economy,
over a consistent
period of time

3. 1-KNOWLEDGE
The one the company itself can generate –
SCHOOL OF KNOWLEDGE
Tacit and explicit

4. 2-PROJECTS
Mobilize knowledge and
positive emotions in a single
goal.
Providing interconnection
between areas, hierarchical
levels and the triangle suppliers
- production / research -
customers.

5. The balance between
disciplinary area
differentiation and their
integration into projects
optimizes results.
2-SHORT-TERM CROSS
PROJECTS

6. 3-MANAGEMENT
The company "does not
allow" managers to be of a
less quality, "forcing"
everyone to submit to its
dynamic.
The innovative attitude as part
of the routine work.

7. 3- LEADERSHIP
Management has to be close
to the collaborators,
developing initiatives that will
increase their satisfaction and
commitment.
In order to innovate, people
need to work harder and
better.

8. 4-OPERATIONAL LEVELS (middle
managers and shop floor)
“Taking bottlenecks away”
The necessary internal
stability to make the
necessary changes is not
resistance to change but
part of the innovation
process.

9. 4- WORKERS’ COUNCILS
The existence of
representative bodies,
who negotiate directly
with management, helps
to create goals for the
organizational base.

10. 4- START UPS AND SPIN OFFS
Innovation through Start-Ups, or Spin-Offs, is
NOT a universal principle

11. 5 - R&D
Innovation achieved in
R & D centers, may
have a secondary
character as to
innovation originated in
production.

12. 5 - CLUSTERS
Company
clusters as
innovation
chains

13. 6 -ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
Major
European and
world events
and their
influence on
companies
