What Is an Innovation Playbook?

An innovation playbook is a structured yet flexible framework that codifies how your organization drives innovation. At Vivaldi, we define it as a living blueprint that aligns teams, capabilities, and culture to generate, test, and scale ideas. It transforms your innovation function from ad hoc to strategic, leveraging digital tools, technology platforms, and a modular system to support execution. Far beyond a manual or toolkit, Vivaldi’s playbook is a digital-age operating model for agile innovation that adapts to market dynamics, consumer demand, and emerging technologies.

Vivaldi’s Unique Framework for Innovation

Each playbook Vivaldi designs reflects a unique framework built on your organization’s core strengths, industry shifts, and future ambitions. We help organizations develop robust innovation architectures that thrive in today’s business environment. Our approach integrates foresight, data-driven insights, and cross-functional collaboration. Vivaldi equips innovation teams with the tools, training, and governance they need to thrive and drive innovation at scale across business units.
