Do you need to innovate at all?
Well, are you successful?
If you have a successful product, then you will get competition!
Its sole aim is to make your offer more efficient, simpler, cheaper or better in order to take market share from you. You have to innovate to differentiate yourself. You’re the hunted one! But are you fast enough?
You need an innovation strategy!
Without strategy and training, however, you will not be able to innovate alone.
The Innovators Institute can help you with this.
It’s easier than you think!

Why do innovation activities fail?
» Innovation is not the priority!
Whether it’s a lack of management commitment or mental and organizational barriers in the company – an innovation manager on the broad floor alone can’t establish an innovation culture. In the end, daily business is becoming more and more important.
» No innovation competence present!
A lack of innovation and methodological competence among management and employees, and a trial & error principle that is lived out regularly lead to misinvestments into the millions. This is frustrating and leads to resignation.
» Existing innovation systems no longer work!
The company suggestion scheme, established in 1872, and the continuous improvement process, introduced in the 1950s, are obsolete and deliver weak results. Do we really want to innovate in 2019 with 19th century methods?
Mentors and Influencer
The inspiration for the training concept came from the founder Oliver Bludau during his academic work at the Harvard Business School. Prof. Michael L. Tushman and Prof. Gary P. Pisano have made a significant contribution to the development that also enables Innovators Institute customers to participate in the innovation capabilities of one of the best business schools in the world.
“Now more than ever before, companies must innovate and ambidextrously exploit existing strategy while exploring new possibilities. My best wishes to everyone at the Innovators Institute in their effort to leave a footprint in the world of idea management and crowd innovation.”

The DNA of sustained Innovation
This book shows that established companies can build a strategy, system and culture of innovation that creates sustainable growth:
Every company wants to grow, and the most proven way is innovation.
The common opinion is that only disruptive, agile start-ups can be innovative; as soon as a company gets older, bigger and more complex, inertia sets in. Gary Pisano’s remarkable research, conducted over three decades, and his exceptional local experience with established companies that have gone beyond the start-up phase, provide new insights into how the experience and opportunities of established companies can be leveraged for innovation benefits.
Our mission
We support companies to innovate independently.
Our society must constantly innovate. Without innovation there is no progress, without progress there is no future. Companies and organizations are part of our society.
Innovation must have the same value in a company as any other business process.
Lack of innovation competence in companies leads to inertia and competitive disadvantages.
The Innovators Institute offers innovation trainings to medium-sized organizations as well as departments of large companies with 30 employees or more, which increase the internal innovation capability and make companies fit for the future.
