Innovation development
Creating the conditions for innovation
Successful innovation development is one of the most important growth drivers today and a prerequisite for the future viability of companies. KEY VALUES innovation consulting helps to create the conditions for innovation success on the one hand and supports development and implementation on the other. Using the Business Innovation Scan® method we have developed, we often start by carrying out an inventory/innovation audit in order to use this measurable basis to specifically improve your innovation capability. We then work with you to develop optimisation measures and support you in their implementation. Through a white-spot-analysis, we also open up new potential and growth areas for our customers.
Understanding and using value-adding technologies
Today, technological development is shaping numerous innovation projects and creating new feasibilities, applications and greater efficiency. We make these new options transparent and adaptable for you through technology screenings and technology scouting. In doing so, we also conduct worldwide patent analyses to better understand the current state of the art as well as the strategies of your competitors.
On this basis, we work with you on new functionalities and benefits for your customers and create an effective technology transfer to your organisation.
Agile design sprints: creating new value
We shape the development of new products, services, business areas and models as well as marketing channels with you in agile design sprints. We prepare these by analysing the environment, trends and technology, involve experts and create innovation fields and concepts in 2-3 days, which can then be evaluated, prioritised and implemented.
Develop innovations systematically in a team.
Innovation management
Building innovation teams and innovation coaching
We help companies to build up and expand the necessary competencies among employees or teams through targeted innovation coaching. In doing so, our numerous method and innovation trainings support the sustainable development of those responsible for innovation in their new task, role and responsibility.
Systematic development and management of innovation processes
The cross-company and division of labour organisation of innovation is on the one hand critical to success, but also complex, challenging and inter-disciplinary. Professional innovation management is therefore not yet implemented in many companies in such a way that the hoped-for results are achieved continuously and measurably. In addition, innovation management depends on the industry, strategy, culture, situation and the respective maturity level. What works in one company fails somewhere else. Therefore, there are hardly any patent remedies. The Innovation Cockpit® developed by KEY VALUES contains the core tasks and creates the basis for individually designed innovation management.
Measurability and optimisation of innovation success
Innovation performance must be measurable in order to be able to evaluate progress and results and to improve innovation capability in a targeted way. The use of resources is also based on an expected ROI (return on innovation). Today, no company can afford to sink large budgets without knowing where it stands. The Business Innovation Scan® described at the beginning provides the necessary success factors and the maturity level at the outset, but also the diagnostic indications for the continuous measurement and optimisation of innovation capability.
Many people have good ideas.
Innovations arise in the market.
Innovation realisation
Successfully implementing innovation projects
Anything new usually requires new skills, a different approach, new technologies and a different mindset. In other words: Innovation requires skills that are partly not yet or not sufficiently available in the companies. This is where we specifically supplement the companies’ internal performance with our external expertise and experience in implementation.
Integrating experts into the innovation process
Based on our network of experts, we can integrate those who are currently needed into the innovation process at any time. For example, our Business Innovation Hub® includes patent attorneys, computer scientists, data analysts, digital experts, process specialists, engineers, chemists, physicists and other natural scientists, as well as researchers and professors from universities and institutes. Their knowledge is called upon as needed and integrated into the innovation process in a targeted manner via workshops. Through the organised transfer of knowledge, we can master complex innovation projects together with our customers.
