growth in market position and higher revenues through our consulting services
Innovation is a crucial driver of progress but requires a structured approach. By enhancing efficiency, transparency, and market reach, our consulting services empower our clients to focus on what matters most – developing cutting-edge technology products and tapping into new markets. Every organization has specific requirements for innovation management. Our services are tailored to the individual needs of our clients, providing tangible and practical solutions and methods, all with an overarching goal: enabling companies to harness innovation effectively.
Many organizations have unstructured innovation processes, leading to inefficiencies in idea generation, evaluation, decision-making, and resource allocation. The need to optimize innovation processes arises from the fact that these processes are often not established or that the current innovation management is insufficient to achieve the set business goals.
In the face of these challenges, we start with a comprehensive assessment of existing processes to identify gaps and opportunities. We work closely with the leadership team to define clear innovation goals. valantic experts then design target processes outlining relevant parameters such as decision points, governance structures (using concepts like RACI, among others), and required resources. Additionally, we develop a detailed implementation roadmap that guides our clients towards a structured innovation process. If necessary, we set up communication and training programs for employees to ensure the new process is accepted and implemented within the organization.
The results:
A lack of insight into the progress of innovations and product developments and ineffective governance can hinder successful outcomes and lead to inefficient resource allocation and employee dissatisfaction with the process.
We design customized dashboards that provide real-time insights into the progress of innovation projects. KPIs closely aligned with business objectives guide informed decision-making processes. Our approach ensures that innovation initiatives stay on course, deliver value, and are well accepted within the organization.
The results:
Resistance to change and isolated innovation efforts within organizations can hinder progress and lead to frustration. valantic assists clients in reshaping their organizational structure and promotes cross-functional and cross-border collaboration in innovation and product development. We employ change management strategies to ensure employees embrace the transformation and drive innovations from all areas of their organization. Targeted communication efforts, along with customized training, help disseminate information about process changes and optimization efforts and increase acceptance.
The results:
Organizations often struggle with effectively implementing innovation strategies, leading to resource constraints and scalability issues.
We provide a detailed implementation roadmap that guides clients through executing their innovation initiatives. Priorities include resource allocation, timelines, and efficient scaling of successful innovations. Our iterative approach allows for course corrections and optimization.
The results:
Innovation is the driving force behind progress. By combining industry-specific expertise with industry-agnostic methods, we ensure that organizations can fully leverage the potential of innovation to succeed in their respective markets.
In the premium segment for kitchen products, growth is primarily driven by product development and innovation capability. For a client, valantic defined innovation methods, decision formats, and three core processes. We helped the company achieve significant efficiency gains, improved collaboration, and transparency through control dashboards, resulting in a 30% increase in synergies within three months.
The manufacturing sector’s digital transformation also impacts innovation management requirements. valantic helped a client merge their existing innovation process with a newly developed, digitally-supported process to establish a holistic approach to innovation management. The result was a future-proof, realigned, systematically established, and organizationally accepted innovation process.
Triggered by the high demand for digital services as supplementary solutions to machine hardware, valantic developed and implemented a new digital innovation process. Valantic supported the client in implementing the process concept and agile collaboration, establishing new competencies that differed from the company’s traditional product development process. Additionally, valantic helped establish a new innovative mindset through a holistic communication and change management approach.
