Innovation is a 360° process that involves the organization and strategies of companies. The IxI=I³ project aims to promote the spread of a pervasive culture of innovation in SMEs, capable of generating new vital impulses for the revival of the industry.
Through workshops, training courses, seminars, and guides for guiding innovative choices, the project provides a strategic contribution to a process of awareness and renewal for business culture.
The central idea of the project is that innovation is a 360° process, encompassing both strictly technological innovation aimed at new products and more efficient production processes and organizational and strategic aspects, as well as all operational processes in general. Five fundamental themes that the activities focus on are:
- Product and process innovation.
- Efficient use of digital technologies.
- Total quality management.
- Environmental and energy efficiency.
- Internationalization.
The toolkits and starbooks produced as part of IxI=I³ highlight the critical steps that have enabled companies to make a qualitative leap. The aim is to provide small and medium-sized enterprises with an opportunity to compare and imitate "best practices," thereby systematizing the most impactful innovative strategies.
