"Agile working is our top priority," emphasizes Christoph Lösch, Managing Director Innovation and Technology at estos GmbH
"The focus is on the customer. We constantly exchange ideas with them and our partners in order to respond flexibly to the dynamically changing needs of the market. The involvement of our sales department plays a central role in this," he adds.
Agile organization and working methods in interdisciplinary teams ensure that requirements are quickly incorporated into current developments. "Simple communication despite complex digital transformation, that's the goal," he concludes.
The core of the TOP 100 innovation competition is a scientific selection process that participants undergo: Innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovative processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation and innovation success. In principle, the analysis is concerned with the question of whether a company's innovations are just a product of chance or are systematically planned and thus repeatable in the future.
Particular emphasis is placed on the question of whether and how innovations and product improvements will succeed in the market.
