Nevertheless, great innovations are created anyway. How are they doing it?
What does the path to true innovation look like? You often feel like you keep hitting a wall. You’re frustrated. Every hurdle you’ve cleared so far seems like pure luck and your road is plastered with stop signs.
When you just start creating something bigger than you, the true pain of an innovator kicks in. What actually stops you from achieving the next step in the innovation game?
SYMPTOM 1
Have you ever finished an innovation project within the scheduled time? How come most Innovation projects take years without any real tangible output?
You gave everything you got and tried to speed up the process, but for some reason, it just wouldn’t work.
Your next career step? A higher gratification? More status? All pretty far away...
SYMPTOM 2
Your innovation projects simply don't get the traction you wanted – and even worse, tangible results are missing.
The desired solution simply does not come to life and your boss is not really happy. But why?
You have good ideas, you even read all the books on innovation, know all the creative techniques – but somehow you are stuck without the results you are urgently waiting for? What could be missing?
SYMPTOM 3
You’ve tried to go for bigger, better products, better innovation processes, but that is easier said than done.
Over 90% of all products fail when launched on the market. How do you feel about that? Not very motivating, right?
SYMPTOM 4
You have tried everything, given everything. However, you have noticed how your own frustration level keeps rising and the next career step seems drifting away from you...
SYMPTOM 5
Maybe you also had team mates who don’t meet your expectations because they are delivering not the results you expected. Motivating your team can be very exhausting.
You know you need team players, talented people that also have a huge interest in making the next step.
But you just don't know how to lead your team to finally get the results you've been waiting for so desperately?
Any innovator’s pitfalls out there? I've fallen into all of them.
From not being heard despite having great innovation ideas, to resistant colleagues and completely bloated company structures. From struggling to get the appreciation you deserve to fighting with collages for more outcome? I've been there and gone through all that. Being an innovator myself, I’ve felt your pain, too.
Facing all these challenges, I've learned the hard way what doesn't work. But thanks to what I have experienced myself, I can prevent all that from happening to you.
And in addition to showing you all the things that don't work, I can show you what does work by sharing my knowledge with you.
15+ years of experience in the innovation development business.
Together with my team I`ve worked with 7 out of 9 of the most innovative German companies worldwide.

You bet. Instead of playing the endless "I believe, you believe" game, and fighting with resistant colleagues, we develop tangible high glossy prototypes and go to market straight away and take the leap. No questions asked, no approval needed!
But it's not easy. You'll need a bulletproof process called Innoweek®. Our goal is to find out in the fastest possible way if a new product works without the usual exhausting year-long process.
Groundbreaking innovative products and services are no longer out of reach. You thought only a genius could develop, launch and validate a product within such a short time? Nope. Our Innovators’ Bootcamp will enable you to do the same and finally achieve the acceptance of others by letting results do the talking.
With 15 years of experience in innovation and a long list of customers including well-known DAX companies, I can tell you it doesn’t take more than a week to get real innovation.
You want to learn how improve your output drastically and develop tangible products within the shortest possible time?
We are going to show you the system behind it as well as all the tricks of the trade. A process that we have continuously been improving over the years.
Have you ever felt the pain of the latecomer or the one who loses a deal just because you lacked the courage?
There's nothing more painful, more soul-crushing than having a great innovation idea, only to watch someone else doing it right before your eyes.
So why let others win the race if your success can be just one week away?
Innovation budgets are always tight. If you don’t get the budget needed, your idea will never become a hit and so your career, right?
Wrong.
With our One-week-only-based approach, you don't need approval for year long development cycles, that are typical in the usual Innovation development approaches.
You can start right away and show others what you are capable of and finally build successful innovation without the usual friction.
While delivering weekly tangible results, your reputation will improve with each passing month, and you can scale yourself as well.
Great ideas need execution. The quality of your work, your ability to meet deadlines, and your level of communication – they all impact your relationship with stakeholders from the start of the project all the way to the end.
We show you how to improve your status drastically within your organization.
Nearly two decades in the industry, plus proven processes, templates and mindset tips.
You can overcome these hurdles all by yourself, but our experience is here and available for you. We want you to learn from our mistakes so that you won't lose your motivation or miss a unique opportunity to grow. Whatever path you take – it won’t be easy. But we've put every red flag, warning sign and how-to in this entire program.
That's what makes Innovators’ Bootcamp different from any other program out there. We have actually been there, done that.

Pranjal Kothari

The collaboration with Granny&Smith has been enormously profitable and also been a lot of fun. Even the selection of the employees shows that Granny&Smith is really professional. The result is convincing in every respect. I will always recommend the GRNY team and hope that we will work together more often.
Dr. Ruth Müntinga
CEO
Innovation with heart, soul and clarity. Great if you want to reach a new level with honesty, integrity and agility. Nothing for you if you are just looking for service providers to execute menial tasks. It’s your choice.
Karin Tanger
CEO
His pleasant, inspiring and motivating way of discovering and realizing new goals is an enrichment for me as an individual and certainly for any company.
Detlef J. Mehrkens
SENIOR MANAGER
Great knowledge, experience, fun to work with, great humor and professionalism. I had the utmost pleasure of working together on various projects for various companies that I managed on C-levels, for award-winning disruptive innovations, rapid growth, internationalization, as well as turnaround and change scenarios. Granny&Smith always understood, delivered, questioned status quo, presented straightforward, bulls-eye answers and solutions.
Dr. Markus Witte
CEO
In sprint Granny&Smith helps to make our ideas into something visible and tangible. Creativity paired with a structured way of working, inexhaustible know-how and a cordial manner let me look forward to common work appointments with joy. This makes work fun! Granny&Smith are much more than just consultants - they are like a rock by our side.
Nadja Kahn
CEO
We contracted a sprint with Lars to get an online configurator mockup and click model. The result exceeded our expectations. We further received a lot of valuable food for thought and insights. We will surely work with Lars again!

The Innovators’ Bootcamp needs more than money as an investment. Getting insights into real innovation, learning proven strategies and methods, require your full commitment.
I’m not going to show you shortcuts to success because they don’t exist. What I can promise though is that your investment in the Innovators’ Bootcamp will help you save time, money, and reduce your workload. Being where I am now took me decades of learning innovation the hard way – a fact that will prevent you from making the same mistakes yourself.
I can’t do the work for you, but I can support you and catch you, when you fall. If you want to push your career to the next level , this course will help empower you to achieve that.
Take your time to study the material packed in 7 modules. Be part of a community for mutual exchange and support.
People have different approaches to learning and varying schedules. Although most participants will be able to finish this course within six weeks, you can choose your own pace. Whether you need more or less time - it won’t have any impact on your learning success. Moreover, being an innovator, you have had the experience that your day may vary a lot and requires re-scheduling, too.
By subscribing to the Innovators’ Bootcamp, you will have lifetime access to all course materials.

If you struggle to get tangible results, if you don’t reach your goals, if you don’t find the right path, or if you just can't achieve the results you’ve always wanted, the Innovators’ Bootcamp will give you the answer. (If you still don’t know whether it’s right for you, click here for a brief quiz.)
The Innovators’ Bootcamp is a masterclass which allows you to choose your own pace. Take your time – no matter how much you need. You will have access to new modules as you proceed.
The Innovators’ Bootcamp is not a panacea. To achieve the results desired, it needs your full commitment, i.e. your time, effort, and energy. Innovations differ. That’s why there is no template to tackle the challenges you and your team are or will be facing. They can only be solved with active contribution.
After completing the 7 modules of this course, you will see more clearly and be more confident when it comes to dealing with the challenges of innovation. This masterclass is not an answer to all your questions on how to build a solid product, but it will enable and encourage you to design your own roadmap for that.
