Why it matters?

The long-term survival time of all companies listed in the S&P index has decreased from 30-35 years (1970) to only 15-20 years today.

The ability to successfully execute innovations is one of the key factors for growth and long-term survival. Especially in 2023, a time of increasing change and uncertainty. The challenge here is to systematically establish technology and innovation management as a core competence - with professional processes and organization that enable future growth and competitive advantage.

"Innovate or die, and there’s no innovation if you operate out of fear of the new or untested."
~ Robert Iger, Former CEO of Walt Disney Company

Project outline

In the project kick-off, we get to know you and the other consortium partners and define the focus and target group of the benchmarking study.

In parallel to the benchmarking study, the consortium partners will have the opportunity to further establish their competencies in technology and innovation management with our certified Chief Technology Manager training. In the practice-oriented training program, participants receive a comprehensive overview of strategies, processes, and methods to establish a competitive technology and innovation management system.

‍

In the review meeting, we will discuss the findings from the benchmarking study and elaborate on the successful practices of the leading companies. The five potential successful practice companies are selected by the consortium based on a comprehensive KPI analysis of approx. 300 participating companies.

‍

Finally, there will be the opportunity to visit and learn from the most successful companies.

In the final meeting, the identified successful practices will be officially presented, and the five successful practice companies are awarded in presence of the press.

Target group

Participation in the project is open to large companies from a wide range of industries, manufacturing or processing industrial companies, as well as companies from the software, insurance, banking, energy, or construction sectors.
