Innovation Mapping

ForInnovation Teams

Identifying potential innovation spaces and adjacent business opportunities to accelerate ideation for new products or services.

Innovation teams use the tool during scoping and ideation to surface potential innovation spaces quickly, then shape them into actionable opportunity directions without waiting for long external research cycles.

  • Map technologies against readiness levels (TRL) and impact scores.
  • Identify potential innovation spaces, market white spaces, or synergies between business units (e.g., automotive and glass).
  • Accelerate the fuzzy front end of innovation, reducing research time from months to minutes.

Technology Roadmapping

ForInnovation TeamsStrategy TeamsForesight

Turning emerging technology intelligence into phased, decision-ready roadmaps across near-, mid-, and long-term horizons.

Strategy and innovation teams use Research Sessions, Signals Workspace, and Radar views to structure technology bets, sequence investments, and align stakeholders around a shared execution path that remains reusable over time.

  • Translate signals into phased roadmap tracks linked to technology readiness (TRL), market timing, and strategic relevance.
  • Use shared Radar and workspace views to align leadership, product, R&D, and operations on priorities and dependencies.
  • Continuously update roadmap assumptions with fresh signals and evidence to reduce planning drift over time.
  • No delivered impact projects are published for this use case yet.
