OLBRICH – scoping workshop
Olbrich visited us on site at our office and had us guide them through a scoping workshop.
The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
Giving the company an overview of innovative technologies and trends from various industries that influence and affect mechanical engineering, and identifying fields of ideas for possible developments.
The Solution.
Was wir daraus
gemacht haben.
A scoping workshop in which everyone involved developed ideas for innovation inside the company.
Olbrich, Saueressig and Polytype, all part of the parent group Matthews International, are among the leading mechanical engineering companies. At the beginning of June, 18 representatives of these companies, from a wide range of positions – designers, product managers, sales managers – gathered at our office in Hamburg. After a relaxed start for the group, our Managing Director Nick brought participants up to date on trend topics in mechanical engineering. Participants were then divided into five groups and worked in an ideation session on various tasks demanding creativity and a spirit of innovation. Across several phases they gathered ideas on where innovation could be brought into the company. Using various creative methods, each group worked out a large number of ideas. The best two ideas were presented to the whole group in a one-minute elevator pitch. Finally, every participant placed each idea in a leverage/feasibility matrix using an online voting tool. That is how the winning idea was determined – the one with the greatest potential for Olbrich.
What stuck
in the end.
Workshop participants built a shared understanding of trend topics and technologies. They also got to know creative methods for generating ideas and came away with first ideas of their own.

From the first idea
to a finished result.
4 steps, how FUTURE CANDY delivers a project like this.
A preliminary talk about the topic, the participants and the desired outcome – so the workshop pays into a clear goal.
We design the flow, exercises and inputs so that a concrete, usable result stands at the end.
A facilitated working session: working on the topic together, trying out technologies, capturing results.
Documenting the results and recommending how things continue inside the company afterwards.
