Innovation consulting: Possible approaches towards change and innovation
Abstract
In this paper we argue that a systematic organisational consulting approach can be supportive in fostering innovation and change processes in companies. We discuss the consulting approach in three steps: First, we present a scientific meta-definition of the term “innovation”, which helps to identify the major challenges for companies in being innovative. Second, we raise urgent questions which companies have to face in order to address these major challenges. Third, we discuss tools from our organisational consulting experience that support companies in answering these questions on their way to innovation success, therefore providing a useful basis for innovation consulting.
