Last Friday and Saturday we hosted the first bootcamp of the iQnite case competition on climate change at our inQvation-hub in Taastrup. 35 participants turned up to spend two days exploring and sharpening their idea in the hope of making it into the main competition. For me as an organizer it was an amazing event.… Continue reading The competition is on!
Ready to iQnite
Yesterday we closed the submissions for our "iQnite Case Competition on Climate Change" with close to 60 dedicated and passionate challengers signed up for the task of trying to create new innovative solutions to tackle climate change. I am blown away by the richness of ideas and the profiles of the people participating. It took… Continue reading Ready to iQnite
Will they pay?
One of the things that always concern me about doing B2B related products and services is that the user is almost always different from the one who is actually paying the bill.

Not… Continue reading Powering up Slack

I have created a small workaround for this. I have started to use Typeform as my notepad for customer… Continue reading Streamlining interviews
Choosing the right experiment
One of the things I spend a significant amount of time on is devising, designing and running experiments on various different ideas for new concepts. It is both fun and challenging. The challenging part is mostly about not reverting to the same 2-3 types of experiments and use them again and again. But because it… Continue reading Choosing the right experiment
From ‘No’ to ‘Yes’
One of the things that really excites me is to investigate problem spaces to see if there are any good solutions to the problems at hand - or if there is an abundance of opportunity to do better. I think that Mike Shipulski has an interesting point in arguing that instead of talking about disruption,… Continue reading From ‘No’ to ‘Yes’
