Clear focus for your innovation strategy

From the innovation front-end, we work with you to define and develop your company’s innovation profile.

ROI now means Return on Innovation

The complexity and speed of trends and change phenomena have increased dramatically over the past few years. The key to innovation success is not only maintaining an overview here, but also being able to anticipate today what will influence markets and consumers tomorrow and thereafter.

Defined innovation areas form a stable foundation for this, as an elementary part of the innovation front-end. They give your innovation activities a context and the chance to deliberately innovate towards recognised opportunities and benefits. For an effective innovation management and finally also for an ROI – Return on Innovation.

Companies face the challenge of ensuring that the entirety of their innovation activities are consistent with their corporate strategies and are beneficial to them. Defined innovation areas in connection with a strategic Innovation Roadmap represent a clear focus and a comprehensive innovation strategy that also pays dividends from a business perspective.
