Innovation

Fostering innovative and collaborative approaches and methods for developing impactful solutions.

The innovation and transfer work of CLIS-HSG translates research into practice. We design and facilitate processes that bring together actors from business, public institutions, and civil society to jointly develop solutions to complex societal challenges — solutions that no single organization could create alone.

Our formats range from structured co-creation workshops to multi-month innovation partnerships to tailored programs for individual organizations. What they share is a research-based approach: the methods we use are grounded in our work on cross-sector collaboration, social innovation, and public value, and are continuously refined through practice.

What sets us apart is the combination of academic depth with practical implementation. We do not only bring diverse perspectives to the table — we provide the process structure, facilitation, and expertise needed to turn dialogue into actionable outcomes. Our work is context-specific, whether in international development cooperation, sustainability transformation in Switzerland, or the strategic repositioning of individual organizations.
