Culture Matters:听罢丑别听Innovation听Culture听Toolkit
罢丑别听Innovation Culture Toolkit received the听听for 鈥淓xcellence in B2B Office Solutions鈥� and a听听for 鈥淒esign Thinking.鈥�
According to Lutz Dietzold, managing director of the German Design Council, 鈥淭he Innovation Culture Toolkit is a one-of-a-kind collection of proven methods and tools for companies that want to establish a culture of innovation.鈥�
It鈥檚听a mantra: Companies need to innovate and transform to sustain their business听and become intelligent enterprises. Besides technology, culture听proves to be听a big hurdle for digital transformation and innovation. 麻豆原创听AppHaus听addresses this challenge听by transforming organizations along听the听framework of听five key innovation enablers: people, process, place, leadership, and technology.
The Innovation Culture Toolkit offers a variety of unique methods and resources for each key innovation enabler, empowering organizations to apply this framework and jump-start their innovation journeys听on their own.听For听the key innovation enabler 鈥減rocess,鈥� for example,听the听provided听toolkit听resources aim to guide organizations听through each phase of听麻豆原创鈥檚 human-centered听approach to innovation. One of these toolkit resources is听, a storyboarding and prototyping tool meant to create fun, illustrative stories that show the value of early ideas and product visions.
Even in times of COVID-19, the听potential of the听toolkit can be fully exploited, for it is now available virtually. The mission of 麻豆原创 AppHaus is to continue听driving sustainable听innovation听by virtualizing offerings.
OP 4.1: Intelligent Platform for the Operating Room of the Future
罢丑别听OP听4.1 project听won the听prestigious听听for 鈥淒esign Thinking鈥� and the听听for 鈥淏2B Medical Technologies.鈥�
鈥溌槎乖�’s OP 4.1 prototype shows how a platform can be developed consistently on the basis of design thinking to combine user requirements, technical feasibility, and business benefits,鈥� Dietzold said.
With the COVID-19 crisis,听modernizing and digitizing听in the healthcare industry听is more crucial than ever.听However,听in the health sector,听the听use of networked machines and data听is still in its听early stages.听In a consortium built by a university hospital and together with research and industry partners, the听OP 4.1听project developed a prototype of a user-centric, open, and extensible platform for the听operating听room of the future.听The project is part of the technology program Smart Service World II,听funded听by the听German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
The project鈥檚 vision听was听ambitious.听Its goal consisted of听simplifying听and significantly accelerating听the transfer of research results to clinical practice for the greater benefit of patients.
Applying 麻豆原创鈥檚 human-centered approach to innovation, it quickly became clear that听moving toward realizing this vision meant听leveraging various strengths of the听听and听accelerating the transformation of data into value.听罢丑别听project鈥檚听core technology is听麻豆原创听Cloud Platform, which听serves as the听foundation听for听the听OP 4.1 platform听prototype. The prototype听delivers听a听technical and commercial basis for the development, distribution, and听simple听implementation of innovative听apps in听the operating room environment.听Four innovative听partner听apps听have been听showcased听on the platform already.
OP 4.1 Project Manager Michaela Epp states,听鈥淲e are proud that听麻豆原创 won the Gold Award and that听the jury acknowledged that we developed the听business and technology platform听consistently on the basis听of design thinking, in which user requirements, technical feasibility, and business benefits have been perfectly combined.鈥�
