Innovation Focus
Business leaders and product developers who strive for sustainable, profitable growth know to balance feasibility, desirability, and viability. Such business models only become reality with systematic and efficient innovation management.
At innovationmanager.ch focus on guiding our clients through the application of innovation methods and toolboxes.
Unlike off-the-shelf templates and tools, innovationmanager.ch’s services fit projects, programs or organizations from the start or during project execution. And they are implemented using the customers existing tools and infrastructure.
The 4-Diamond Innovation Model is our unique top-down innovation framework building on business model innovation tools, applying proven methods such as design thinking, and holistic principles from ISO 56000.
The end-to-end approach from strategy to customer success links all critical business functions. The 4-Diamonds approach makes sure all functions exchange value within an innovative organization. So how might we succeed? By getting the best out of all functions and individuals working together.
Innovation Assessments
Innovation assessments are our approach to finding out where and how organizations can become more innovative. Following a simple ISO 56002-based approach or a detailed innovation360 assessment with innovation benchmarking against your segment and competitors offers a wide choice.
Technical Due Diligence
For specific questions on how projects or development disciplines perform and innovate, reviews of system architecture, technology, business models, or software in a product are performed by us.
In a more formal way we provide a technology due diligence for all deals at crossroads. We’re experienced working with VC, PE or in private M&A settings and provide in-depth target reports in the software and technology industry.
Product & Application Life Cycle Management
Whether you need an innovation kanban, idea management system, or a non-ivory-tower approach to involve the whole team, we help you drive innovation and R&D process improvements.
We have more than 30 years of experience with water-fall-style PLM integrating product software, agile ALM systems targeting full-stack services, or hybrid process models.
We improve software processes around design and change controls, simple tool-driven processes built on git and are experienced in deep-dive into processes such as:
- Systems and requirements engineering
- Risk, threat modelling, and cyber security being compliant with IEC 62443 for industry or IEC 81001-5-1 and SW96 for MedTech, interfacing operations with ISO 27001, NIST CSF or similar frameworks.
- Integration of software processes (e.g. IEEE or ISO SDLC, IEC62304 based) into QMS built on ISO 9001 for industry or ISO 13485 for MedTech
Partners And Tools We Work With
Innovation Facilitation
Working with the methods and tools we engage with enables us to help our clients with facilitation, project manager, product owner roles and program management in projects creating innovative services and products.
At process, board and management levels, we frequently help with innovation boards and funnels, facilitate workshops, and develop organisations as consultants or in ad-interim positions.
