A Modular Co-Innovation Approach Based on Your Needs

You want to innovate. But do you know where to start?

When it comes to innovation, there is no standard path to take. That’s why we have developed a flexible and modular approach to accommodate the diverse innovation needs of our times. Our approach comprises 5 Co-Innovation Service modules – Inspire, Involve, Design, Adopt and Connect – with which we provide systematic support along the innovation process using specific tools and methods.

Whether you’re in need of inspiration, want to make use of disruptive technologies or seek to develop new processes or business models – we are there for you.

Co-Innovation Service module Inspire to explore your possibilities and strategize

Inspire: Explore Your Possibilities & Strategize

Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply looking for innovative ideas for the future, we are here to get you started. Guided by your interests and needs, we will jointly discover new possibilities and envision alternative futures using a variety of creative methods and tools, which we then flexibly translate into actionable concepts and strategic roadmaps.

Goals and outcomes:

Our objective is to inspire you – to make you aware of new possibilities and help you express your vision and ideas for the future in a way that they can be actualized. You define the desired outcome: a refreshing spark of inspiration, a concrete idea or a comprehensive roadmap for your innovation journey.

Co-Innovation Service module Involve to get the right people engaged

Involve: Get the Right People Engaged

Innovation is not just about technology. It’s about the people who will use it every day. To make innovation a success, it’s critical to get your people fully engaged. Instead of providing innovation as a finished product, we develop and implement it together with your team.

Goals and outcomes:

Engaging people is a highly individual task. Sometimes, all it takes is bringing lines of business and IT department closer together. In other cases, you might first want to develop a common understanding of your innovation projects’ scope and expectations as well as its constraints. We’ll choose the right set of tools that fit your requirements – always with a clear focus on the needs of your users and/or customers.

Sample tools and capabilities:

Cross-Functional Workshops, Design Thinking Methodology, Fit-Gap Analysis, Change Management, Knowledge Transfer Sessions

Co-Innovation Service module Design to prototype and refine your solution

Design: Prototype and Refine Your Solution

Together, we make your idea tangible by specifying, visualizing, and prototyping possible solutions. Starting with the users and their requirements, we will jointly work through an iterative process of developing, testing, evaluating, and refining possible designs until we meet the desired aspiration level.

Goals and outcomes:

We find what’s working and what’s not and what brings most value for you and your customers. As a result, you get solution prototypes, benchmarks and systematic feedback, and a well-specified solution ready for implementation.

Sample tools and capabilities:

Persona Creation, UX/Frontend Design, Functional Specification & Prototyping, User Testing & Expert Assessments, Scrum/Agile Methods, Benchmarks
