PIER Startup Workshop: Creating Innovation with Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT)

Workshop/Training | Andreas Voss (Concis Group! and People & Friends) | 7 November 2025, 9 am - 1 pm | Remote | Career development / Innovation/Startup / PIER Startup Bootcamp

Learn how to create innovation by "thinking inside the box" in our next PIER Startup Workshop “Creating Innovation with Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT)” for early stage researchers (doctoral researchers and postdocs), taking place on 7 November 2025 (remote). 

Everyone knows the phrase “Think outside the box”. But what if this is not the most promising strategy, but instead thinking the other way around leads to much better results and ideas? Through their meticulous analysis of hundreds of companies worldwide, the authors of the world bestseller “Think inside the Box” have identified 5 “innovation patterns” that provide the foundation for systematic development of highly innovative products and services within systems, companies with or without limited resources. In a systematic and structured way, you too can produce a greater variety of ideas as possible solutions, products or services to revolutionize your markets.

Join our remote workshop and learn how you can create highly innovative products and services with the revolutionary SIT approach using patterns and templates. We will give you an overview of the Systematic Inventive Thinking method with which you can think of and search for innovations not outside but inside the box.
