It is true that large companies have more financial or political assertiveness and are therefore easier to deal with possible innovation risks. However, smaller companies are more flexible, often more innovative in certain disciplines or technologies, and most of their communication is more efficient. They can even get closer to the customer and generate benefits from it.<\/p>\n<p>We support smaller companies in innovation projects with <strong>tools that have been specially developed to achieve quick results with small budgets and with smaller teams<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Some examples are: Hackathons, fast Structured Idea Management projects, Design Thinking workshops, Scrums, Walt Disney processes and spaces or Blue Ocean Jump &#8211; to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p>When working with small or medium-sized companies, we use their particular strengths and achieve innovative products and services quickly.

Walt Disney used to rethink and refine ideas by dividing the process into three specific mindsets. The dreamer, the realist and the critic.<\/p>\n<p>A) The <strong>dreamer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This stage was free to fantasize and created the most fantastic and absurd ideas out there. There was no filter here; just wonderful, raw ideas. This phase was about &#8220;Why not?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>B) The <strong>realist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The realist reviews the dreamer&#8217;s ideas and converts them into something more practical. It wasn&#8217;t about why they wouldn&#8217;t work, just how they could be achieved. This phase is about &#8220;How?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>C) The <strong>critic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the third stage, the critic comes into play and finds gaps in the ideas that he had previously thought up. This is not about looking at things negatively, it&#8217;s just about rethinking things: &#8220;What could go wrong?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ideas that survived this process were the ones that Walt Disney then wanted to work on.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Different rooms for different stadiums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But Walt Disney went further and created real spaces in which he moved between these spaces and tested his possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how fantastic it would be if you had these rooms in your company. So many good ideas would arise and be given the chance to be refined and then tested for success. In addition, a few ideas that were previously called bad ideas could be checked again very quickly &#8230; and eventually end up as winners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We support you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We carry out this process with our customers and clearly separate these three modes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we set up these premises in a company in reality and thus enable very dynamic, innovative work within the company, but also with customers and business partners who can be invited to participate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2167&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_accordion c_icon=&#8221;&#8221; active_section=&#8221;&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section i_position=&#8221;right&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-chevron-right&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;References &amp; Clients&#8217; Feedback (Extract)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585077301247-9f562e49-2698&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span lang=\"EN-GB\"><strong>I find it excellent!<\/strong> I have already implemented several things.
