“Innovation Hunting”
To remain competitive companies need to innovate its products and services continuously. However, usually the people who have the responsibility to seek / promote innovation are the same responsible for the day to day business. Usually they are more engaged in ensuring that the company succeed today than tomorrow. Even when people get the time to focus on innovation, it is quite common that obtained performance is below expectations, because they are “infected” by the working environment.
The Olbrus answer to this dilemma is the “innovation hunting” service:
- “Hunting” the ideas in the customer environment or in the market, in the customer business branch and in other related segments
- Analysis of ideas, covering technical, cultural and commercial aspects.
- Development of ideas into products or services (specification)
- Search of partners and suppliers, if applicable
- Support product development team
To support the development of innovation processes throughout an entire company, including their customers and suppliers networks, we work together with specialized consultants.
