Can innovation be organized? If so, how? The objective of this master class is to reflect and learn together about forms of organization of innovation activities and to participate in a common experience on this theme. The session is made up of three parts. First, the question of organization of innovation will be addressed. Then the case of a business design business innovative founded by Elmar Mock in Switzerland in the mid-1980s— Creaholic—, will be presented. The afternoon will be dedicated to a workshop led by Gilles Garel and Elmar Mock, informed by questions and expectations shared by the participants.
