Innovation coaching

Those responsible for innovation management have to assert themselves on a daily basis. They are faced with the task of optimizing existing processes and promoting innovation, while at the same time, they often have to deal with internal skepticism and concerns. With a complex mixture of a lack of processes, internal resistance and external pressure to constantly create something new and groundbreaking, without the right support this can quickly become a seemingly insurmountable challenge. In many cases, traditional training and education is not sufficient to address the specific challenges and needs of innovation management. Those responsible for innovation need tailored and individual support that offers not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in dealing with innovation.

Innovation coaching is exactly the kind of support you need. With extensive experience in the field of innovation management, innovation experts act as mentors to those responsible, offering practical solutions and serving as a trustworthy sparring partner for professional exchange. This form of support not only helps to overcome current challenges but also enables managers to create a long-term environment in which innovation can flourish. Individual innovation coaching enables them to make confident decisions, develop strategies for the future of their company, and thus make a lasting contribution to the company's success.

Customer-focused services leave a lasting impression. With the service design approach, we develop an understanding of customer expectations and needs together with you. With this knowledge, we design the interaction along the customer journey to be more intuitive. Consequently, you excite customers, and trust in your brand grows.

Design thinking

Design thinking solves problems systematically and accelerates the innovation process. The customer-focused approach is suitable for the development of better products, services, and business models. In an iterative and agile design process, we analyze the problem, identify solutions, and test the result together with you.

Agile project management

With innovation projects, the result is mostly uncertain and requires agility, flexibility, and quick results. Agile project management simplifies the customer-focused development of high-quality innovations, especially in product development. Work in agile teams is efficient, and the results are quickly visible.

The innovation contest

The innovation contest allows new ideas to emerge in your company. An internal competition for ideas makes the creativity of your employees visible and unveils the unexpected potential of staff. You fill your ideas pipeline efficiently and with structure, while promoting a positive culture of innovation at the same time.

Innovationsprozess als Erfolgsfaktor einführen

Grundsätzlich geht es bei Innovationsprozessen in Unternehmen darum, einen klaren Rahmen zu schaffen, der festlegt, wie Ideen im Unternehmen eingebracht, wie sie weiterverfolgt und wie sie auf den Markt gebracht werden.

Das House of Innovation

Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien und Konsonantien leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines großen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden fließt durch ihren Ort und versorgt sie mit den nötigen Regelialien.

Es ist ein paradiesmatisches Land, in dem einem gebratene Satzteile in den Mund fliegen. Nicht einmal von der allmächtigen Interpunktion werden die Blindtexte beherrscht – ein geradezu unorthographisches Leben. Eines Tages aber beschloß eine kleine Zeile Blindtext, ihr Name war Lorem Ipsum, hinaus zu gehen in die weite Grammatik.

“Viele Sachverhalte werden von uns intern als selbstverständlich wahrgenommen und nicht mehr hinterfragt. Oft hilft ein Blick von außen, um sich von alten Denkmustern zu lösen.”
