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.

- 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.
