Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO 
Tailor-made innovation systems for companies
Boosting a company’s innovative capacity involves more than just process optimization. Success rests far more on the successful interaction of all factors relevant to the innovation process. This often requires a willingness to strike out in new directions and to question established mechanisms.
At Fraunhofer IAO, we create customized innovation systems for companies. We help our customers by
- analyzing and improving corporate innovation processes by taking a holistic approach,
- developing conceptual designs for company-specific innovation systems,
- designing thinking environments, structures and hierarchies that promote creativity,
- facilitating rule-breaking ideas and transforming these into distinct solutions as well as
- purposefully and smoothly establishing new processes within the company.
We use unique methods and tools developed at Fraunhofer IAO to
- make visible current trends in relevant innovation fields,
- identify leading knowledge carriers within and outside the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and
- involve these knowledge carriers in the development of new product, service and business model ideas.
