Innovate - Welcome to the Heart of Europe

A competitive, innovation-driven economy has a strong need to and induce new potential through ongoing change. Innovation is inspired by an environment that allows creativity to manifest itself rather than holding it back.

 

Innovation-friendly structures display a high degree of flexibility coupled with decentralized control. Providing “creative leeway” and encouraging a playful attitude represents another piece of the creative framework, as do casual conversations that can trigger further ideas, and the availability of quiet space, where people can reflect and process the same. Most crucial though is the selection of the creative team.

 

Innovation is characterized by high complexity, by risk, and by its conflict potential. Supportive measures solve interface problems among sciences, which may all display different qualifications, languages, perspectives, and territoriality. Power-, expert-, process-, and relationship-promoters help to remove barriers and create space for error. Main characteristics of winning cultures include a high willingness to learn from previous mistakes.
