Unleashing corporate innovation: successfully implementing KIROI step 7

Driving corporate innovation forward with targeted support

Corporate innovation requires more than just good ideas. The decisive step is to develop these innovations sustainably throughout the entire company. KIROI provides support as a coaching partner, accompanying projects relating to artificial intelligence and promoting change with impetus and guidance.

Driving force for sustainable corporate innovation

Many companies come to us with questions about the implementation and scaling of innovations. They often report difficulties in transferring individual solution concepts company-wide. Unleashing corporate innovation means overcoming these hurdles - for example through increased cross-departmental communication or systematic feedback. In this way, innovation is not perceived as a risk but as an opportunity and acceptance is generated.

Accompanied employee training is particularly important. In one case, we supported a production unit that used AI forecasts to increase sales success. This method was then extended to warehouse management. The result was improved inventory planning and less overproduction. This showed how corporate innovation can be realised by supporting knowledge transfer.

A medium-sized industrial company initially only used AI modelling in sales. After accompanying analyses and coaching, the idea was transferred to the entire supply chain. The result was improved flexibility and significantly lower storage costs, which strengthened the company's competitiveness.

Communication and transparency as pillars of corporate innovation

Unleashing corporate innovation usually only succeeds in a culture that promotes open communication. Transparent information flows reduce inhibitions and prevent uncertainty. Those responsible are encouraged to address challenges openly and develop solutions together. This results in innovative approaches that move the entire company forward.

KIROI supports this through systematic coaching that provides impetus and closely supports individual teams. When introducing digital assistants in the HR department in particular, clients reported that regular workshops were crucial to creating broad understanding and acceptance.

A company in the service sector introduced digital tools for HR management. Through a combination of training, feedback sessions and individualised coaching, they achieved a high level of employee acceptance, which supported the digital transformation and increased productivity.

Gradual scaling ensures sustainable success

Unleashing corporate innovation also means implementing change step by step. Not every innovation has to be introduced company-wide immediately. Practical experience shows that pilot projects and their feedback are valuable in order to pass on the best impulses and thus make scaling sustainable.

Continuous support through KIROI coaching makes an important contribution here. It helps organisations to overcome inhibitions and understand the various changes as development steps.

KIROI BEST PRACTICE at DEF (name changed due to NDA contract)

A technology company began with a digitalisation project in the R&D department. With the help of coaching processes, findings and new ways of working were slowly transferred to other areas. This enabled the company to react flexibly to market developments and gradually increase its innovative strength.

My analysis

Unleashing corporate innovation is a multi-layered process. It is based on the networking of cross-divisional communication, active involvement of employees and targeted support. If these elements are dovetailed, the implementation of innovative ideas will be more successful throughout the company. KIROI coaching can act as a valuable partner here, providing structured support for change and innovation and giving lasting impetus.
