S.H.A.P.E. METHODOLOGY

Today, companies are looking for help in different places on their way to their own digital strategy. Whether it is through cooperation with start-ups, freelancers or competitors or through spin-offs of their own company.

But cooperation with external partners and the associated open innovation process are often unsuccessful. Disagreements quickly arise between the different companies and there is no common direction. The S.H.A.P.E. method helps to define shared goals.

PHASES OF THE S.H.A.P.E. METHOD

01

Synergise

Develop an understanding for your partners and define common innovation goals for your projects.
02

Harmonize

Define a common roadmap and establish priorities and corporate structures.
03

Adapt

Establish communication channels and conduct regular feedback meetings. Openness and transparency are key here.
04

Perform

Work together on the future of your project and hold joint workshops and appointments where you can shape your innovations together.
05

Endure

Innovation takes time and the partnership must also be cultivated over a longer period of time. Therefore, build cross-company innovation communities that contribute to continuous further development.

Find a common language for your projects

To be successful with your innovation, you need partners. The S.H.A.P.E. method helps you to define a common goal and to craft the future together. Whether with start-ups, competitors or spin-offs - in times of digital transformation the competitive boundaries shift and collaboration and co-creation become a central building block of many business models.

S.H.A.P.E. helps you to work out the similarities, but also the differences between you and your partner and still work together successfully and purposefully. My team and I help you to work out the common positioning, to define innovation goals and to establish communication channels that go beyond the classic company borders and business models.
