Why is there a new global innovation expert module in Africa?
Nairobi is the new global hotspot for frugal innovation. It addresses the grand challenges in a way that directly serves the customer base. Frugal innovation stands for the optimum combination of technological development meeting the customer interest. That does not have to be the highest degree of available innovation. But what we can learn from this culture is to first focus on the customer. Silicon Valley taught us the same culture in the Lean Start-up context for higher technological levels. Vice versa African innovation management professionals can learn about European, Chinese and US culture of creating business out of knowledge. Executive education in this context means to develop the mindset.
