PROBLEM & DEFINITION

No Engagement. No Innovation.

67% of employees are not engaged with their company.

The challenges businesses face today are complex. Globalization, digitalization, and the need to develop sustainable business models are putting organizations under significant pressure. Successfully implementing innovation projects and establishing long-term, cost-efficient innovation activities remains a major challenge.

  • Why Do Innovation Projects Fail?

    • Lack of customer focus and unclear goals: Without a clear problem definition and genuine user-centricity, innovations are developed without meeting real needs.
    • Insufficient employee involvement: Internal potential remains untapped when there are no systematic processes and structures to capture ideas from all areas of the company.
    • Lack of resources and management support: Without sufficient time, budget, and executive backing, even the most promising initiatives cannot grow.
    • Lack of agility in processes and culture: Rigid structures and a lack of creative thinking prevent rapid testing, learning cycles, and timely adjustments.

  • Why Innovation?

    • Accelerating technological change: Companies must continuously invest in new technologies and adapt their processes to stay competitive and drive innovation.
    • Increasing competitive dynamics: Businesses face growing pressure to succeed in highly contested markets where rapid decision-making and flexibility are critical.
    • The need for sustainable transformation: Organizations must evolve their business models sustainably to remain both environmentally responsible and economically successful in the long run.

The consequences of failed innovation projects and processes are far-reaching: market opportunities go untapped, employee motivation and enthusiasm for innovation declines, and as a result, the necessity for innovation often turns into a tangible risk to the company's competitiveness.

SERVICES

Innovation. Delivered.

Tools, Processes, and Expertise for Lasting Success.

Our goal is to support companies at every stage of their innovation journey—from the first idea to successful market launch. Internal Innovation Venturing offers a wide range of services, tailored to the specific needs of each organization.

  • What We Offer

    • Internal Innovation Ecosystem: Development of platforms and processes that streamline idea generation, validation, and execution.
    • Employee Training: Workshops and training in methodologies such as Design Thinking, Lean Startup, and Agile working to strengthen the teams’ innovation capabilities.
    • Prototyping & Testing: Guidance in developing and validating new concepts to minimize risks and maximize success potential.
    • Scaling Support: Assistance in rolling out validated solutions at scale.

  • What results can companies expect from Internal Innovation Venturing?

    The primary goal is to create a unique competitive advantage, as Internal Innovation Venturing adapts individually to each company throughout its implementation and practice. Companies benefit from a continuous increase in competitiveness through a steady flow of experimentally validated solutions for cost optimization, productivity gains, and new revenue streams—contributed by employees across all levels and functions.

  • How soon are results visible?

    Most companies begin seeing results within the first few months of implementing Internal Innovation Venturing. During this period, they typically observe that the employee-driven potential starts outweighing the initial implementation costs, eventually covering them entirely.

  • For which business challenges is Internal Innovation Venturing suited for?

    Strengthening a company culture of entrepreneurial thinking, engaging employees in initiating and implementing business improvements, creating and managing corporate startups, developing new ventures, products, and business areas, as well as enhancing competitiveness and productivity.

  • Which companies benefit the most from Internal Innovation Venturing?

    Companies that believe in their employees’ innovation potential, are willing to delegate responsibility, foster a healthy tolerance for failure, and aspire to become more innovative, productive, dynamic, flexible, resilient, and competitive.

  • What preparation is needed, and what costs should companies anticipate for a successful implementation of Internal Innovation Venturing?

    Companies should be prepared to invest human and financial resources (depending on their size and capacity) to establish an internal team of corporate entrepreneurship advisors (catalysts) who support corporate innovators and ensure the continuity of the Internal Innovation Venturing process. Additionally, setting up investment and venture funds for prototyping and experimental projects during the initial phase is crucial. In most cases, Internal Innovation Venturing becomes self-sustaining, as a portion of the business benefits generated, funds its ongoing development.

  • How long does implementation take, and when do the effects materialize?

    The introduction of Internal Innovation Venturing typically takes 6–9 months. After that, companies are usually capable of independently managing and benefiting from it as long as they choose, since the system continuously updates, scales, and evolves.

  • What additional services or support does kiucon offer after the implementation of Internal Innovation Venturing?

    kiucon’s mission is to help client companies develop the ability to independently manage Internal Innovation Venturing as quickly as possible. However, some businesses may still require external support, such as connecting with innovation ecosystems for joint prototype development and testing with external partners, as well as managing innovation projects. kiucon is ready to provide this support and can also offer digital tools for project management or even a comprehensive information system for overseeing corporate startups.
