Innovation Circles

Innovation circles have a lot in common with action learning sets, they are also a group of committed people, usually experts on their field, meeting on a regular basis to create value out of new ideas. The focus of innovation circles is more future orientated, for example innovative products, new services or being a think tank for a specialised field.

V.G.L. helps you to set up action learning sets and / or innovation circles in companies, for alumni groups, change managers and generally for groups with common interests. This is a complex subject; for more in-depth information, please contact me
