Das House of Innovation

Das House of Innovation

Das House of Innovation ist ein mehrstufiges Modell für ein ganzheitliches, strategisches Innovationsmanagement. In der vereinfachten Darstellung zeigt das Modell die Bausteine für erfolgreiche Innovation. Damit ist das Modell die ideale Ausgangslage, um Innovationsmanagement in einer Organisation systematisch zu analysieren und entsprechend den Bedürfnissen aufzusetzen. 

Die Basis des House of Innovation bildet die Innovationskultur. Auf diesem Fundament bauen die Struktur sowie der Innovationsprozess und die Innovationsmethoden auf. Das Dach bildet die Innovationsstrategie. 

Die genaue Ausgestaltung der einzelnen Bauelemente und Räume hängt von der jeweiligen Organisation ab. Das House of Innovations ist somit keine Blaupause, die sich einfach übertragen lässt.

Wir erheben daher mit unseren Kunden in einem ersten Schritt den Ist-Zustand und sehen uns dann den Soll-Zustand an. Bei dieser ganzheitlichen Betrachtung werden Mitarbeiter:innen aus verschiedenen Bereichen des Unternehmens eingebunden. Das Ergebnis: ein verständliche Darstellung des unternehmenseigenen Innovationsmanagement, das auf einem gemeinsamen Verständnis aller Mitarbeiter:innen beruht. Damit sind die Entwicklungsfelder für Neues sichtbar und die Innovationsbreitschaft im Unternehmen steigt.
