Strengthening the effectiveness of digitalization, orientation workshop, quick-check interviews

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 12 Domains of Impact of Innovation . The model is based on findings from science, management theory, and many years of innovation practice. Experience Innovation expresses the idea that innovation thrives on experience and new knowledge, which immediately becomes experience when applied—and so on.


How can digitization be made more effective?

As part of the impulse phase, the “orientation workshop” reflects on the initial situation, activities, and goals based on the 12 areas of impact and develops concrete points for strengthening the effectiveness of digitalization. It is recommended to accompany the workshop at the beginning and end of a cycle or to conduct it completely on your own.

The workshop is applicable for

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

Impulse phase: Holistic view in the “Orientation-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.


At the heart of innovation Chat

Many ideas and solutions have been developed in the coffee corner during relaxed discussions among peers. This can also be achieved online, with Innovation AI-Chatbot Samy available to assist.

Develop benefits, potential, risks, and opportunities in a structured manner

The process took into account lean thinking, blue ocean strategy, and SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats).

  • Upper half of the image
    Successes, desirables, chances, goals

  • Lower half of the image
    Unwanted things, risks, cost and effort drivers

The value stream analyses are then linked in cross-departmental chains of effects. The method is also very well suited for management reports.

Establishing a solid foundation for planning successful projects


  • Structured assessment of the situation and starting point

  • Value streams, opportunities, risks, and undesirable chains of effects are quantified, and concrete fields of action are derived.

  • The results can be linked very well to strategic planning, and concrete projects can be derived from them.

  • The success of projects can also be measured and demonstrated by repetition at the end.
