Innovation Management in Engineering
"Innovations are not a product of chance, but the result of a systematic, targeted process."
Especially in engineering, where technological developments, international competitive dynamics and increasing customer requirements come together, professional innovation management is crucial for future viability and growth.
As a mechanical engineer with a doctorate and an experienced entrepreneur, I know what is important here. In over 20 years of international management experience, I have successfully built up innovation processes, identified technical potential and put companies on course for growth - in a structured, entrepreneurial manner and always with an eye on feasibility.
I support you in leveraging innovation potential in your company in a targeted manner: from the development of a practical innovation strategy to the systematic evaluation of technologies and the successful market launch of new products. I pay particular attention to economic feasibility and acceptance within the organization.
My consulting approach is clear, pragmatic and at eye level with management - from the perspective of an entrepreneur with years of experience, not from that of a theorist.
Use my experience to expand your innovative strength in a targeted and sustainable manner.
