Gellify Middle East, a multinational innovation platform managing digital transformations, has launched its Digital Intrapreneurs Fast Track (DIFT) program for companies in the Middle East and Africa.
The DIFT program is aimed at helping companies identify innovative ideas within their own organization and bring products and services to market within eight weeks instead of several months. It builds stakeholder digital awareness, enabling companies harness ideas and technologies by collaborating within the organization and also externally with an ecosystem.
“Traditionally, innovative ideas wither away in organizational silos, rarely reaching the market in time to cause disruption. The DIFT program is specifically designed for businesses in the Middle East and will enable companies through a structured methodology to rapidly bring ideas to a viable product stage,” says Massimo Cannizzo, the CEO and co-founder of Gellify Middle East.
“The launch of DIFT comes at a time when businesses in the Middle East need the speed and the ability to scale innovations at a faster pace than ever before. Businesses are looking to align with the digitalization goals of each of the governments in the region and to prepare for a future of digital and other disruptions. What better place than to look within the organization and foster an innovation culture that will ensure a sustainable and robust innovation pipeline?” adds Cannizzo.
The DIFT program instils entrepreneurship methodologies and skills inside companies and enables them to build relevant business models. The unique on-the-job training approach, design thinking and a digital collaboration platform along with toolkits and digital content help companies quickly funnel innovative ideas into structured projects that result in working prototypes.
