Innovation Chat Workshop – Strengthening effectivity of digitalization​

Use existing systems and investments more effectively with little effort​

Why many investments don't work – and what you can do about it


The reasons for this are manyfold. The potential added value of investments in everyday life depends on the twelve Domains of Impact of Innovation . The model is based on findings from science, management theory, and many years of innovation practice. Experience Innovation expresses that innovation thrives on experience and new knowledge, which immediately becomes experience when applied—and so on.At the center of the circular process, the “Innovation Chat Workshop” reflects on the starting point, activities, and goals based on the 12 fields of impact and develops concrete points for strengthening the effectiveness of digitalization. It is recommended to continue the Innovation Chat regularly and openly.

The workshop is applicable for

  • existing systems that are being modified and
  • ompletely new systems.

Holistic approach in the "Innovation Chat Workshop"

The value of innovations is determined by the following three dimensions:

  • Technology
  • People,
  • Business

The aim is to achieve the optimum from all three perspectives, which corresponds to the greatest possible value of an investment. Looking at one perspective in isolation does not do justice to this.
