Innovation to Build Capacity and Capture Opportunities
From identifying innovation ideas to delivery tangible impact—connecting opportunity discovery, ecosystem collaboration, and structured governance to move from isolated pilots to a repeatable model that scales solutions from POC to full deployment and adoption, capturing real business value across the energy value chain
Structured innovation—from POC to MVP to full launch—accelerates industrialization, closing the gap between discovery and deployment and ensuring real operational value
Connecting large energy companies with start-ups and the innovation ecosystem unlocks agility and disruptive capabilities, combining corporate scale with entrepreneurial speed.
An Innovation Management Office (IMO) structures portfolio management and prioritization, focusing resources on high-value opportunities to maximize innovation ROI
How NTT DATA helps
Designing and deploying an IMO tailored to the client’s reality, covering capacity assessment, portfolio management, governance models, and the end-to-end process from idea generation to solution design and launch (POC-MVP-to-Launch)
Running structured opportunity discovery workshops to identify high-potential use cases, explore technological trends, and foster an innovation mindset aligned with strategic priorities
Monitoring investment flows into start-ups, generating technology radars and trend studies, and providing in-depth market research—including the Energy Trends Observatory, which tracks +90 energy companies and VCs and has characterized more than 1,500 start-ups
Developing 360-degree exploration strategies and technological evolution roadmaps adapted to the client’s objectives, defining a clear path from core optimization and adjacent expansion to disruptive growth—bridging the gap between pilot and industrial scale
Design & re-vamping of the innovation model, determining the organizational structure, operating activities, roles and responsibilities that are aligned with the strategy leveraging our benchmark of Energy Innovation models, counting with over 15 global energy firm models and best practices
Assessing and developing innovation culture through initiatives designed to strengthen the organization’s innovation DNA
NTT DATA enables energy organizations to move from fragmented, hard-to-scale innovation efforts to a structured model that connects technology scouting, ecosystem collaboration, and governance—turning promising ideas into real business impact at scale
Innovation discovery sessions and opportunity assessments to identify high-value use cases, filtering out non-viable ideas early and fostering collaboration across the organization
