Management methods for innovation transformation

Bosch's "grow platform", an international incubation programme

The Bosch Group, which employs more than 76,000 researchers and developers in 60 countries around the world, has its own internal incubation platform, which collects innovation proposals from employees around the world through eight so-called global innovation hubs. The aim of the platform is to discover radical innovations that fit the group's global strategy and to support developments right through to market launch. Between 10 and 12 innovative ideas are incubated at any one time.

The "grow platform" provides everything that internal Bosch startup teams need. Their services cover the following areas:

defining and implementing business models and strategies;
building and mentoring high-performance teams: helping to find and select team members and develop the teams' strategic planning skills, agile methods and collaboration skills;
brand development, marketing, developing global market entry and sales strategies, providing ongoing support to teams in implementing strategies, and measuring results using predefined metrics;

The aim of the book "Innovation and Excellence" is to inspire and encourage company leaders, managers, and experts to initiate and implement innovation transformations with the help of professional literature and corporate case studies. Another important goal is to help develop the innovation capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises in particular by sharing simple, proven management methods that can be tested in practice.

The first part of the volume reviews the factors of corporate excellence and success, then highlights the possible sources of innovation, with a focus on the role of users and employees. The empirical section presents a detailed description of the supportive role of the workplace environment and creative working conditions based on corporate case studies (AUDI, BOSCH, MELECS). The volume concludes with a description of selected tested practical methods and management techniques that readers can try out in their own businesses.
