Joint discussion

Evaluation

Audit report

with concrete recommendations for action

Innovation takes place externally and internally and needs to permeate the entire company in order to achieve sustainable success.

At the beginning of an audit there is a discussion with the company management. The evaluation is carried out using the computer-based tool InnoQuest from the Enterprise Europe Network. The tool identifies seven process fields that influence and promote innovations within an organisation – for example, product development, internal structure and market orientation.

The company receives a report with an analysis of the current situation, numerous graphics for evaluating the process fields and concrete recommendations for action. Upon request, uni transfer will present these proposals in a second round of talks.
The service is free of charge, and the innovation audit is treated confidentially.
