IPU's methods and engineering competences enable us to assist Danish and foreign companies improve their ability to be innovative within their own organisation. And when comparing us with management consultants, our strength is that we are able to “see the project through” and demonstrate the practical and the operational aspects of the new developmental patterns and methods in collaboration with the company’s own employees:

The management of the company gets answers to the questions: Is our innovation “in good shape”? How do we improve our ability to develop? How do we gain insight into the development tasks? How do we manage the company by managing company innovation? Have we geared our innovation for globalisation? What is our position compared with other companies? Does the money spent on innovation yield significant returns?

The professional in charge of innovations gets answers to the questions: How do I manage the portfolio of innovation projects? How do I make best use of the new opportunities for global interplay? What demands do we need to meet on the global market? How do I make my innovation machine lean? How do I get a hold of user driven innovation? How do I get hold of Design for the Xs: Manufacturing, Environment, Quality, …? Should I use platform-based product development and how? Should our product innovation be product/system innovation, instead? Does the competence profile of my innovation machine match the challenges we face?

And the employees are given specific development competences and development patterns to work with. These taught in a combination of meetings, workshops and pilot projects based on the reality of the company.
