The LEAD User method came more than handy to us in order to bring the forward-looking customer even more into the foreground of our ideas than before. Because Vitrulan is regarded in our industry as an engine of innovation. This reputation fills us with a certain pride and strengthens our claim not to let up in any way in our innovative activities. We gladly accepted the offer of several years of support and advisory accompaniment from LEAD Innovation Management GmbH in order to be able to realize the developed idea concepts in a professional, goal-oriented manner from the technical development to the marketing introduction in a timely manner.

Everyone talks about innovation. And how important good innovation management is. LEAD was the first to show how it works. And that was no accident: precise and detailed preliminary work, a structured and excellently organized LEAD User Conference and a great and competent LEAD team helped us to this success.

Many issues are taken for granted by us internally and are no longer questioned. A look from the outside often helps to detach oneself from old patterns of thinking.
