The ANDRITZ Group operates across many business areas and countries. The goal was to enable 30 selected managers from all areas to identify and validate new business opportunities as intrapreneurs.
At the same time, the business areas were to connect with one another. This reveals synergies that lead to new business opportunities.
Two Three-Day Program Modules On Site
Six months of preparation preceded the program, including preliminary interviews, set-up, and scoping. On site, the participants then went through a typical innovation process. Talks and interactive formats covered everything from what it takes to be an entrepreneur to business models and business cases, sales, financing, and protecting your own ideas.
Working in teams, the managers learned innovation methods and applied them right away. They worked on their own ideas and developed them further with experts from the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem.
UnternehmerTUM and the program in Munich helped us to raise the innovative strength of our managers to a new level. Above all, the diverse involvement of experts is a real highlight of the program.
