Board of Directors a.s.r.SparkOptimus started with identifying, categorizing in horizons, and prioritizing innovation areas. Within these areas, ideas were prioritized, a balanced innovation portfolio was developed (considering different innovation horizons), and the first initiatives were kick-started. In parallel, a.s.r.’s innovation organization was assessed and blueprinted to be able to embed digitization & innovation throughout a.s.r.
In a short time-frame, SparkOptimus helped to kick-start the first innovations and set-up the initial innovation organization.
