Testimonials Recently, I had the opportunity to attend Value Innovations Mastering Value Innovation workshop. This well-crafted event was among the best 2 days of professional education I ve experienced in years. Dick Lee s mastery of the subject matter, excellent case studies and practical approach for product and service innovation equipped me to immediately apply the Vi methodology. I especially recommend Mastering Value Innovation to leaders in Strategy, Marketing or Product Development roles who need to facilitate customer-driven breakthrough thinking. Global Marketing Manager, Fortune 20 Company The best workshop I ve ever attended. CEO, American Vanguard, Sr. Director, Advanced Technology, Flextronics. We brought in Value Innovations Inc. to develop the materials for, and lead, three 2-Day with the leaders of Ingersoll Rand s five business sectors: Two in Davidson, NC and one in Prague, Czech Republic. The goal was to increase the awareness of I-R s leadership team in Value Innovation methodology and tools, how they are used to identify Blue Oceans and how, when used consistently, they dramatically improve an organization s performance. Innovation Project Manager, Ingersoll-Rand An excellent experience forcing you to look in the mirror and create customer centric approaches before deciding where to develop guided by a very passionate speaker, Dick Lee VP, Fellowes Holdings BV I have had the opportunity to work with Value Innovations on multiple occasions and have found their approach to be the most industry relevant and practical of all the various innovation schools of thought that I have been exposed to. As a strategist with a deep technology background I have had the opportunity to explore a number of different approaches and products in the innovation arena and none have the level of maturity and applicability that I have seen in the VI work. Technology Strategy Director, Pearson Overall topic very interesting and useful. Good pace and content VP, Supply Chain Engineering and Innovation, Deutsche Post DHL IT Services GmbH Fantastically useful! I have so many nuggets to take back and implement immediately. Dynamic presenter! GREAT case studies and stories. Group activities to reinforce learning Global Product Line Manager, Planview
