Innovation Consulting

Consulting,
that builds.


Strategy, prototypes, roll-out: we help companies actively shape change. Results, not slides.

Our approach.

Innovation is the beginning
of everything.

Every project is individual. No company is like the next, in culture, maturity or goals. That's why nothing here is off the shelf: we tailor every format to situation, scope and budget.

Our team brings real market knowledge, technical know-how and the power to deliver, not just slides.

The innovation process

From challenge
to roll-out.

An end-to-end journey, shown here as a full example. In scoping we brief it to your specific project.

The trigger

A problem, a need, a challenge, or a new technology.

AI Consulting

No AI strategy

Innovation Consulting

Product or service no longer up to date

Technology Consulting

New technology is changing process, market or production

AI Consulting

AI potential spotted, but no one internally is driving it

Innovation Consulting

Growth is stalling, and fresh ideas are missing

Technology Consulting

Competitors are moving faster on technology

Whether AI consulting, innovation consulting or technology consulting, this is what brings you to us, and we get started.

1

Scoping

  • Status quo
  • Problem definition
  • Roadmap
2

Strategy

  • Goal definition
  • KPIs
  • Potential analysis
  • Scope & budget planning

The iterative loop.

Ideation → Validation → Adaptation keep turning, as often as needed until the direction is right. This is where an idea becomes something solid.

3 4 5
3
Ideation

Long/short list, scope, stakeholders: gather, bundle and sharpen ideas.

4
Validation

Pretotyping and user interviews: test against reality early and cheaply.

5
Adaptation

Adjust and sharpen: back into the loop or on to the decision.

Decision

Go / No-Go: build it, another loop, or stop on purpose.

Execution & Prototyping

  • Functional prototype / MVP (hardware & software)
  • Manufacturing / technical implementation
  • Testing under real conditions
Prototyping
7

Roll-out

Our method · How we work

The Innovation Loop.

The FUTURE CANDY Innovation Loop is a holistic approach to innovation for companies and institutions of any kind, size and industry. Made up of INSPIRE, IDEATE, MAKE and EVALUATE, the method stands for a continuous, interlocking process aimed at the focused, collaborative development of product/service, process and business-model innovation. The Innovation Loop has no beginning and no end, it starts wherever it makes sense and is needed.

INSPIRE MAKE IDEATE EVALUATE
Inspire

Gather trends, technologies and impulses that spark innovation, the entry into the loop.

Ideate

Impulses become ideas: develop concepts and sketch first approaches.

Make

Ideas become tangible: build prototypes, test concepts, implement solutions.

Evaluate

Evaluate results and learn: what works gets developed further. Then it's back to Inspire.
