1. SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
PERSPECTIVE
Innovation is an absolute top priority at Arla. To us, innovation is about offering the consumer
completely new and surprising categories of dairy products, but it is just as much about
staying innovative in the way we work and organise ourselves.
CONTENT
At this skill seminar we will start off by giving you brief introduction to our NPD process
with a special focus on portfolio management, to give you an overview of the different
process stages when working within innovation. After this we will dig into a variety of
different tools and techniques for creative and innovative thinking. Throughout the day you
will be asked to practice and apply these techniques and tools on actual real-life Arla business
cases in breakout sessions. Besides developing your skills, this will also enhance your
knowledge about Arla and our product portfolio. The last part of the day will be about group
presentations, where you will get to present your outcomes from the breakout sessions. Focus
will be on reflecting on the ways we were able to convert the tools and techniques into actual
innovative thinking and on feedback on your learnings.
