Department optimisation: With KIROI step 6 to idea power

For many companies, departmental optimisation is a key lever for increasing efficiency and innovative strength. With KIROI Step 6, teams receive targeted support to systematically develop their idea power. This sixth step brings structure to the creative development of ideas and supports the implementation of new approaches within the departments.

Department optimisation: targeted use of innovative impulses

Companies are often looking for ways to improve their processes and develop new solutions in the process. KIROI Step 6 provides a proven concept for methodically promoting creative thought processes. At the same time, the structured approach ensures that ideas do not just stand in the air, but can be implemented in practice. This creates a productive space for change.

For example, a medium-sized mechanical engineering company was able to innovatively adapt its production processes by applying KIROI Step 6. Employees from various departments contributed diverse perspectives, which led to new optimisation approaches in joint workshops. A logistics company used the method to develop innovative ideas for transport planning and thus utilise resources more efficiently. KIROI Step 6 was also used in customer service to create new automated routines that make day-to-day work easier.

BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) An interdisciplinary think tank was established in a production department with KIROI Step 6. A team analysed weak points in the use of materials and jointly developed prototypes for more sustainable processes. These were quickly tested and optimised, resulting in significant cost and resource savings.

How KIROI Step 6 supports departmental optimisation

The sixth step in the KIROI model combines creativity techniques with a clear framework for implementation. Methods such as brainstorming or the morphological box allow employees to develop a wide range of ideas. This is accompanied by a process that focusses on practicable solutions.

In a financial services company, KIROI Step 6 helped to speed up the month-end closing process through digital automation. Employees contributed suggestions on how repetitive tasks could be simplified. The implementation was carried out with the involvement of everyone involved, which greatly increased acceptance. Workshops in a marketing department resulted in specific product innovations, which were then successfully piloted.

The integration of different departments is a key to success. Cross-departmental collaboration makes it possible to look at innovative solutions from different perspectives. This strengthens communication and transparency, which supports the entire optimisation process.

Practical examples from various industries

In the manufacturing industry, concrete idea development with KIROI Step 6 led to reduced downtimes thanks to better maintenance cycles. An IT service provider was able to use the method to streamline its support processes and increase customer satisfaction at the same time. In human resources, departmental optimisation was used to improve internal communication channels and thus make collaboration more efficient.

Tips for the successful use of KIROI Step 6

For effective departmental optimisation, managers should encourage teams to share ideas openly. After all, sustainable changes can only be achieved through an innovation-friendly culture. It is advisable to hold regular interdisciplinary workshops and define clear goals. Digital tools such as AI-supported analyses can help to evaluate proposals and set priorities.

Accompanying coaching support, such as that offered by KIROI Step 6, ensures a good balance between creative freedom and structure. In this way, employees experience that their ideas are valued and at the same time implemented in a targeted manner. This often leads to greater motivation and better results in the long term.

My analysis

Departmental optimisation gains particular effectiveness through KIROI Step 6. Structured support for idea generation promotes sustainable innovation and a motivating working environment. Practical examples from a wide range of industries confirm the added value that arises when creativity is methodically promoted and utilised across teams. This turns departmental optimisation into a real opportunity to actively shape change processes.
