Innovation-Challenges<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”banner-1-p mb-0″]Because we work from a problem-driven approach, ESTI brings organizations together who are dealing with the same problem. This enlarges the market opportunity for parties who have a solution.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”banner-1-p mt-0″]One of the instruments we use to generate real solutions, is the Innovation Challenge<\/a>. This approach is suitable for social, technical and business model challenges. At ESTI we follow a robust and proven process. We do research and develop a landscape of the entire ecosystem.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” el_class=”pt-0″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”pr-2″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]E\u00e9n van de methodes die ESTI gebruikt om tot echte oplossingen te komen, is de innovatie-uitdaging.

A ‘good’ problem<\/h3>\n

It is not simple to create a problem definition without stepping into defining solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-md-4″][vc_single_image image=”798″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ESTI-team (former House of Open Innovation) has advised and facilitated us in our 100% Healthy living Challenge. In this challenge our social housing corporation Mitros invited solution providers to come up with innovative solutions to safeguard our housing from draft, damp and mold. ESTI has very professionally guided this innovation trajectory in\u00a0 their role of independent orchestrator. We have truly valued our collaboration with ESTI; the consultants at ESTI are highly experienced and knowledgeable. It was good to know how committed and reachable the team was. Throughout the entire process the communication lines were short which meant we could switch easily. This has lead us to also organize the Insulation Challenge with ESTI, together with three Utrecht-based housing corporations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough Mitros housing corporation our organization came into contact with ESTI (former House of Open Innovation). Together with Bo-Ex, Mitros and Portaal we organized the Insulation Challenge, guided by ESTI throughout the challenge. Without the professional guidance of ESTI, this innovative challenge would not have been feasible in such a short time frame. We have experienced Rick and his team as flexible, professional and always capable of bringing us to a higher level. Their experience with these types of trajectories preserves you from having to reinvent the wheel. That made this trajectory very efficient. Also the contact moments felt natural and relaxed, bringing out the best strengths in us as housing corporations. I look back with pleasure to a very successful process.\u201d<\/p>\n
