In an era of exponential change, leaders often search for the “perfect” leadership style, while groundbreaking research shows that it is not the style of leadership that determines success, but the work climate that leaders create.
Innovation capability is the ability of organizations to continuously innovate and is seen as a critical source of sustainable competitiveness. Building innovation capacity requires a culture of curiosity, experimentation and continuous improvement. Organizations must strategically invest in tools, leadership and processes to translate bold ideas into impactful change.
We help you embed innovation into the DNA of the organization. This creates new ideas that thrive, can be scaled up and have lasting impact. This encourages long-term growth, resilience and a future-proof organization.
Our solutions
What is the importance of innovativeness?
Innovation capability refers to an organization’s ability to continuously innovate and improve. More and more companies are recognizing innovation capability as one of the most critical sources of sustainable competitiveness and long-term performance. Organizations who are committed to strategic growth realize that continuous organizational innovation is essential.
A strong innovation culture is crucial to building innovation capability within organizations. It fosters creativity and collaboration, encouraging employees to share new ideas and take risks. This allows companies to respond more flexibly to market opportunities and achieve sustainable growth, strengthening their competitive position in a rapidly changing market.
A successful innovation process requires more than just creative ideas. We transform loose ideas into concrete business results through our proven innovation consulting approach. Our methodology rests on three essential pillars: systematic idea management, effective rapid prototyping and data-driven decision-making. No casual brainstorms but measurable innovation impact.
A powerful innovation process begins with visionary leaders who embrace change. True transformation occurs when management actively facilitates a culture of experimentation and growth. It goes beyond simply generating new ideas – it’s about cultivating an organization-wide innovation mindset. Transform your leadership team into effective innovation ambassadors who get results. This way, innovation will be embedded in your organizational strategy.
An effective innovation process stands or falls with engaged teams. They are essential for sustainable innovation. In modern organizations, teams fulfill crucial innovation roles: they generate ideas from practical experience, validate new concepts, connect departments, are ambassadors for change and embed innovation knowledge in the organization.
Crucially, these innovations contribute to lasting value.
Sustainable competitiveness means that your lead is not temporary, but continues in the long term. You don’t achieve this with a single innovation process, but by structurally embedding innovation in your organization’s DNA. Companies with a high innovation capacity manage to remain continuously relevant and achieve strategic growth – even in times of uncertainty.
From one-time to repeatable
From occasional innovation to a structural process
Many organizations still too often approach innovation as a one-time action: an annual idea contest or loose brainstorming session. While this sometimes produces inspiring ideas, the structural impact is often lacking. Innovation should not be a coincidence, but a structured and scalable process. Only then can you build an organization that is truly future-proof.
Building innovation capability means organizing innovation systematically and integrating it fully into daily practice. This requires a clear approach, the right processes AND a culture that encourages curiosity, experimentation and continuous improvement at every level of the organization. In such an environment, ideas don’t just emerge – they grow, scale and create lasting impact.
- Structured and measurable innovation processes that accelerate results.
Innovation is still seen too much as a creative and unstructured process. We use a systematic approach. This helps companies develop innovation processes that are consistent and measurable, turning ideas into concrete results faster.
- Focus on culture and leadership development to achieve sustainable innovation.
We emphasize developing an innovation mindset within leadership teams and building and innovation culture throughout the organization. Successful innovation depends not only on tools and processes, but also on behavioral and cultural change. - Involvement of teams throughout the process to make innovation broad-based
Involvement of teams and employees is a core part of the innovation process for us. This means that innovation is not only driven top-down, but also broadly supported within the organization.
The process guidance revolution: from brainstorming frustration to innovation success
Creative process
The article highlights how professional process coaching makes the difference between chaotic, ineffective brainstorming sessions and successful innovation processes. It highlights that certified CPS process facilitators help teams generate up to 600% more ideas by mastering the art of separating process from content. The article explains why many organizations have bad experiences with brainstorming sessions (lack of structure, preparation and psychological safety) and how a well-trained facilitator avoids these pitfalls.
40% more sales growth: the scientifically proven ROI of climate investment
Organizational climate
Organizations who strategically invest in their innovation climate experience transformative results that many times exceed the initial investment. This return on investment manifests itself in increased employee engagement, accelerated innovation cycles and increased organizational resilience.
Organizational climate as an engine for innovation and change
Organizational climate
In a world where innovation makes the difference between being ahead and being left behind, organizations are searching for the secret formula for sustainable innovation. The answer lies not in complex strategies or expensive technologies, but in something much more fundamental: the daily organizational climate that employees experience. Scientific research shows that organizations with a consciously developed innovation climate achieve up to 40% more sales growth and perform 3.5 times better in their markets.
The power of cognitive diversity: smart teams, stronger organizations
Problem-solving styles
When team members face the same problem but choose completely different solution directions, it looks like chaos – but it is actually one of the most powerful competitive advantages a team can possess. This cognitive diversity in problem-solving styles, scientifically measurable through the VIEW assessment, is key to resilient teams that excel in complex, changing environments. Organizations who consciously value and strategically leverage these differences transform potential frustration into measurable innovativeness and sustained team performance.
From intuition to systematic innovation
Facilitation
Innovation was long considered a mysterious process – a flash of genius for a few. This romantic notion has given way to a more pragmatic approach. Today, we know that successful innovations come from systematic processes that structure creativity. This transformation from intuitive to methodical innovation determines which companies thrive in a world of constant change.
