Digital Innovation

We are currently being confronted by three recurring questions: Innovation managers want to know how to design digitalization successfully and how to integrate it into existing innovation mechanisms. While on the other hand, CIOs and digitalization managers want to know how to improve a company’s innovative strength. General managers and CEOs are generally concerned with how to optimally and profitably harmonize innovation and digitalization. Taking a closer look reveals that all of these questions essentially deal with the same issue, namely how to shape digital innovation. From our many projects that deal with both digitalization and innovation, we have taken eight action areas into consideration and formulated specific recommendations. These can be applied to both midsize companies and groups, question established innovation and digitalization patterns and serve as an impulse for successful digital transformation design.

• Digitalization requires focus
• Supporting the Innovation Process End-to-End
• Digitalization needs use cases
• Technology Competence vs. Market Access
• Developing and integrating digital capabilities
