Open Value Innovation

GREATER VALUE TOGETHER.

ACHIEVING MORE TOGETHER – WITH OPEN VALUE INNOVATION

With Open Value Innovation, companies that use Valuedesk and their external partners such as suppliers, customers and consultants enter the direct innovation process. The goal is to fully exploit improvement and savings potential. This creates a real win-win situation.

Open Value Innovation is the perfect platform for this. Companies actively exchange ideas about optimisation measures with their suppliers, customers and consultants, because they view existing processes and products from a different perspective. Coupled with their know-how, this provides valuable impulses for innovations.

Getting started in the digital innovation process is easy. Companies invite selected suppliers, customers and consultants to participate in Open Value Innovation and forward them improvement ideas by email. Lateral thinking is expressly encouraged. Savings potential is identified and processes are made more efficient through a direct exchange with each other. At the same time, business relationships are also deepened.

Proposed measures can be easily categorised, implemented and controlled via Valuedesk. External partners are informed continuously about the progress of “their” idea.

Open Value Innovation stands for transparency and mutual appreciation. This new form of cooperation pays off, as only those who build close partnerships and unify innovative strength achieve positive financial effects in the long term.

EVERY IDEA COUNTS

All measures that help the company and external partner to do things better while reducing costs can be submitted. This affects many business areas:

FOR EXAMPLE:

CONTRACTS (TERMS, NEW BUSINESS MODELS, …)
PRODUCT (PRODUCT MODIFICATIONS, MATERIAL USAGE, SERVICES, …)
PROCESS (SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT, INTEGRATION OF SUPPLIER IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, …)
ORDERS (OPTIMISATION OF ORDER TIME & QUANTITY, ORDER MEDIUM, …)
LOGISTICS (INCOMING & OUTGOING GOODS INSPECTION, REDUCTION OF EMPTY RUNS, …)
SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES (AVOIDANCE OF WASTAGE & WASTE, HAZARDOUS WASTE REDUCTION, …)
AND MUCH MORE.

ADVANTAGES FOR EXTERNAL PARTNERS

PREFERRED PARTNERS

Only selected suppliers, customers and consultants receive an invitation from the companies to participate in Open Value Innovation. Both sides secure clear competitive advantages through this open cooperation.

GREATER AWARENESS

Ideas sent by email reach all relevant decision makers and connected departments (Purchasing, Management, Management Control, …) in the company. General awareness of the external partner increases, and this strengthens business relationships.

GREATER TRANSPARENCY

The external partner automatically receives feedback on every significant progress of its idea. The partner is even able to gain a deeper insight into the implementation process if special approval is obtained from the company. Communication is transparent and constant.

GREATER OPPORTUNITIES

The external partner collects credit points at the company on its Open Value Innovation account for each idea submitted. Above all, the quality of an idea has an impact. If its level of implementation increases, the points on the Open Value Innovation account increase. The partner becomes particularly interesting for expanding business relationships.

WIN-WIN SITUATION

Both sides benefit from the connection to Open Value Innovation – companies and external partners. Savings potentials are exploited, processes and procedures are optimised. Mutual appreciation grows. The external partners become generally more widely known in the company and demonstrate their true potential.

How do the ideas and innovations reach the customer?

To make it as easy as possible for the external partner, an extremely simple technology was developed: in order to submit an idea to the company, the external partner only needs to send an email for each idea individually to the central email address he has received from the respective company. In the subject line of the email the external partner briefly describes his idea. In the text part the further description follows. All file attachments of the email are automatically transferred to the customer’s database. Photos attached to the email are even displayed in the internal software newsfeed and thus increase attention considerably.

In a nutshell. This is how the process succeeds:

Send ideas individually to the previously communicated email address
Briefly describe the idea in the subject line of the email
Confirm your email address once
Each idea receives emails with progress feedback
Every idea pays into the innovation account of the customer
