How decision makers engender modern innovation management

The “house of innovation” offers a holistic solution for operational and strategic innovation management. It enables you to consistently pursue your innovation strategy and innovate on a regular basis.

Ensure your company remains competitive and innovative by using the “house of innovation” as a model.

In this paper, you will learn which measures you can take immediately and which long-term steps you should consider for holistic innovation management.

This is how we do it …

Three steps to the House of Innovation

  1. We start with an innovation audit and create an innovation scorecard with the strengths and weaknesses of the current organization.
  2. Together, we define the measures for a functioning House of Innovation.
  3. We support the implementation and check if and to what extent the measures are taking effect.

The House of Innovation

The House of Innovation is a multi-stage model for holistic, strategic innovation management. In the simplified view, the model shows the building blocks for successful innovation. The model is thus the ideal starting point for systematically analyzing innovation management in an organization and applying it according to requirements. 

The culture of innovation forms the basis for the House of Innovation. The structure, innovation process, and the innovation methods are built on this foundation. The roof forms the innovation strategy

The exact configuration of the individual 'building blocks' and 'rooms' depends on the respective organization. The House of Innovation is therefore not a blueprint that is easily transferred, but rather adapted to the respective company.

To do this, we determine the actual situation in a first step and then take a look at the target situation. For a comprehensive analysis, we speak to employees from various departments of the company and make deductions for holistic innovation management.

The result: a comprehensible depiction of the company's innovation management based on a common understanding of all employees. This way the development fields for new things are visible and the willingness within the company to innovate increases

The House of Innovation – the multi-stage model is composed of the building blocks culture of innovation, structure, innovation processes, innovation methods, and strategies.

The methods

The lead user method

The driving force behind innovation is often advanced users with a sense for customer requirements and the markets of tomorrow. We use these attributes in the lead user approach: experts in our global lead user network enhance your innovation projects with a wealth of experience and active collaboration.

Service design

Customer-focused services leave a lasting impression. With the service design approach, we develop an understanding for customer expectations and needs together with you. With this knowledge, we design the interaction along the customer journey to be more intuitive. Consequently, you excite customers and trust in your brand grows.

Design thinking

Design thinking solves problems systematically and accelerates the innovation process. The customer-focused approach is suitable for the development of better products, services, and business models. In an iterative and agile design process, we analyze the problem, identify solutions, and test the result together with you.

Agile project management

With innovation projects, the result is mostly uncertain and requires agility, flexibility, and quick results. Agile project management simplifies the customer-focused development of high-quality innovations, especially in product development. Work in agile teams is efficient, and the results are quickly visible.

The innovation contest

The innovation contest allows new ideas to emerge in your company. An internal competition for ideas makes the creativity of your employees visible and unveils the unexpected potential of staff. You fill your ideas pipeline efficiently and with structure, while promoting a positive culture of innovation at the same time.

Innovation Studio

In the Innovation Studio, we work together on the next big innovation from your company. When doing so, we take on the risks in the early phase of your innovation project. This way you reduce development costs and increase innovation success.

Innovationsprozess als Erfolgsfaktor einführen

Grundsätzlich geht es bei Innovationsprozessen in Unternehmen darum, einen klaren Rahmen zu schaffen, der festlegt, wie Ideen im Unternehmen eingebracht, wie sie weiterverfolgt und wie sie auf den Markt gebracht werden.

“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.”

"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."
