The challenges of fast-moving and increasingly digitalized business environments

Successful companies add value by offering appealing products, efficient processes, and new business models. In doing so, the difficulty lies not in a lack of good ideas, but instead in understanding the quality of ideas, implementing them on time, and launching them successfully. A variety of studies point to the fact that it is not so much about the amount of money companies channel into R&D, but about using available resources intelligently and in the right places. Something that is often overlooked in everyday business is that technology and product trends cannot be simply extrapolated into the future. Innovations often result in a process of continuous renewal and this forces businesses to regularly question their current business model and explore new ways to safeguard their competitiveness.

Services

The Steinbeis Competence Team For Technology Implementation and Business Optimization (K|T|U) provides you with support in identifying technology trends and translating these into new business models, future products, or new production processes. This also involves help with attracting state, federal, or EU funding. To do this and develop important new ideas, scientific methods, and resources, we work in close partnership with Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences and the Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis INT.
