Innovationsmanagement | Stratieberatung

Successful innovation is founded on products that make sense on the market, and processes that make sense in their structure. We guide and support with you through the whole cycle from market to market. We help you set priorities and reach the right developments. We make sure implementation processes and projects are efficient, for example, through simultaneous product and process development, tailor-made method support or agile planning, and through empowering the people in your company.

The philosophy we always stick to: methodology yes, off-the-peg ideas no. We are experienced practitioners and take the liberty to act flexibly, on a case-by-case and customer-specific basis – we love things that are new, with person and team in mind, we enjoy being successful together.

INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIES

Your corporate strategy determines which future markets your company is heading for. Your innovation strategy determines what your USP is and the expertise you require for this. Together with you we examine market and technology trends and anticipate potential areas of innovation. The results tell us which technologies you need to procure, and which employee skills you need to develop so that you can keep winning with innovative services. Essential groundwork for your success.
LEAN DEVELOPMENT

Concentrating on the essential what and how is fundamental for success in the process from market to market. Tools and ideas from the lean development toolbox are called stage-gate, simplify and standardize. To make sure this does not cost us flexibility, it’s more important to find the right company-specific balance between lean and agile methods than to follow blind method fetishism. Markets and technologies are changing energetically – the mix is imperative.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

No matter whether you’re looking for innovative goods, services or business models, the first step towards discovering new fields of business is to question the existing patterns of thought. In this respect digital transformation is both a challenge and a kind of opportunity. It allows you to see innovation as an integrated subject. Let’s work together to develop ideas that, from product through production to company structure, are totally in line with customer needs.
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

You usually make money with products you have developed and optimized over the years. At the same time, these “private labels” are also the ones under most pressure: target prices keep falling. Key customers’ profit margins are small. Further variations, versions and release stages complicate the processes even more. Product management has to manage a variety of tasks: from strategically long-term to operatively short-term, from sales to technical. We help you to build bridges between departments, companies and customers and to make things run better.
