Book your Discovery Meeting

What to expect during & after your discovery call with Novable?

We love this question because it goes straight to the heart of who we are at Novable. From the very beginning, we’ve chosen not to be just a tool.

‍During the call we have a conversation with you & about you to understand if we can indeed be your partner who tailors your innovations needs towards actionable steps.

Tools give you data. Partners help you achieve results.We act as an extension of your innovation team, sharing your objectives, your sense of urgency, and your drive to deliver real outcomes. Have more questions? Check if you can find them below, and if not, make sure to ask your question and we will answer before the call.

After the call, you walk away with a clear next-step recommendation

What you will discover

Human connection - not just a platform

Once you’ve met with us, you’ll be directly connected with our innovation experts, people like Thibault, Irene, and their team. You won’t just be handed a dashboard and left alone. You’ll have open lines of communication to discuss your goals, clarify nuances, adjust course, and challenge assumptions along the way.We believe innovation is a conversation, not a transaction.

A co-built scouting campaign

After your call, we’ll work together to define your brief, translating your strategic priorities into a focused innovation scouting campaign. Every step, from defining what “fit” looks like to delivering your Golden Basket (a short-list) of selected companies, is co-built with you.We don’t just deliver results. We guarantee them. Why? Well, because you’re part of the process that shapes them!

Advisory support that bridges the gap

Beyond technology, our Advisory Services and workshops help your team align internally by connecting discovery with implementation, and turning insights into tangible next steps. Think of it as your shared innovation roadmap, where we co-navigate the journey from “what’s out there?” to “let’s make it happen.”

A long-term innovation partner

Novable’s mission doesn’t end at scouting, it begins there! We’re invested in your success by finding and validating the right partners, startups, and innovations that can accelerate your business. We don’t run proof-of-concepts for you, but we do ignite the first spark that makes them possible.But what if you want a full open innovation cycle support, from scouting to PoC? We got you covered in the next Q&A!

The 1st complete open innovation solution: Novable × Yumana

What does the Novable × Yumana partnership mean for customers?

‍It’s a natural extension of what Novable has always believed in, that innovation is a human story, powered by technology but never replaced by it.

You already got acquainted with what Novable brings to the table. Now, Yumana brings the other side of the innovation equation – enabling organizations to engage their people and turn insights into action through idea management, structured innovation programs, and collaboration challenges.

Together, Novable and Yumana connect the outside and the inside of innovation.For customers, that means you no longer have to choose between a tool that only delivers lists or a consultant who only delivers slides. Instead, you get a living innovation system:
– Technology that scouts the world
– Experts who validate relevance
– Employees who turn insights into real projects and tangible outcomes

We call that the golden triangle of innovation – the perfect balance between intelligence, human sense-making, and organizational momentum.

It’s the difference between simply*finding the right innovation… and making it happen in your organization.
