Digital Product & Service Innovation

We accelerate your innovation, minimize investment risks, and turn ideas into measurable success – in record time.

Are you Innovating,
or vanishing Into the Past?

“Gaining an edge in the market through innovative solutions” sounds simple, doesn’t it? Yet too often, innovation projects lose momentum, drag on endlessly, or never even get started due to lack of time. This frustrates employees – and companies risk losing their competitiveness in an ever-faster changing market. It’s often not the ideas that are missing, but the circumstances. That’s where we come in: we move you from talking to doing! With startup know-how and entrepreneurial spirit, we help you turn your ideas into concrete concepts, validate them, and transform them into innovative products and services.
LET’S GET STARTED

In 3 Steps to your Innovation

Product and service innovation begins where an idea sparks change, where audience and business meet, and where convincing, novel value creates demand. In our process, we create an innovation space for you, where together we take a step back to see the bigger picture, develop strategy and ideas, and then derive actions to test and implement. Let's start…
3 Schritte zu deiner Innovation:  1. Analyse, 2. Ideenprüfung, 3. Kultur fördern

1. Analyze & Prioritize

Innovation starts with a clear understanding of your industry, your customers, and your goals. We take the time to carefully analyze current trends and your competitors, and we map your business into clear infographics and customer journeys. Our audit visualizes opportunities and potential showstoppers. Only then do we choose the most promising innovation focus.

2. Test & Implement Ideas

Now we create a temporary innovation space for you and your team. Based on the chosen innovation focus, we develop ideas for a product or service innovation for your business. But instead of taking a long leap into the unknown, we test them first. We build a simple prototype to ensure the innovation delivers real value. Only after a successful test do we move on to full implementation.

3. Fostering a Culture of Innovation

The first innovation project is just the beginning. To create lasting innovation, it takes commitment to cultivate and nurture an innovation culture. We help you establish a culture of continuous innovation within your company by gradually introducing methods and processes from agile organizations.

Why we prefer to test (some) ideas before we build them

We don’t rely on gut feeling alone when it comes to costly developments. Instead, in a collaborative design sprint we translate ideas into simple click prototypes or physical models and test them early on with real user feedback. This way, we identify potential weaknesses, unmet needs, and hidden challenges before valuable development time is invested. The result: minimized risk of misinvestment and maximized chances of success for your project. Curious to give your idea a test run? Just tell us what you have in mind…

On Course for Success: Realigning Innovation Holistically

Innovation is the interface of three elements: the identity and perception of your brand, the user experience of your products & services, and the technologythat drives them. When these three elements seamlessly come together, holistic innovation emerges. We don’t just create products or services – we create experiences that inspire people and propel businesses to the top. It’s the fusion of creativity, functionality, and technology that paves the way for your successful future.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is innovation and what does it mean for my company?

Innovation is the process of developing new ideas, products, services, or methods that lead to significant improvements over existing solutions. For companies, innovation means more than just introducing novelties; it’s about challenging the status quo, continuously developing further, and creating competitive advantages. Through innovation, companies can tap into new markets, strengthen customer loyalty, improve efficiency, and ultimately secure growth and long-term success. In today’s fast-paced business environment, innovation is the key to staying relevant and standing out from the competition. As innovation consultants, we help you stay ahead by developing tailored strategies that not only keep your company up to date but also position you at the forefront of innovation.

What is change management and why is it important?

Change management is the process of steering and supporting change within organizations. It encompasses strategies and measures to prepare people, processes, and systems for change, to implement it effectively, and to anchor it sustainably. Why is it important? Because change – whether through new technologies, market dynamics, or strategic realignments – is inevitable. Good change management ensures that transitions run smoothly and efficiently, reduces resistance, and fosters employee acceptance. By prioritizing change management in your company, you not only secure the success of individual change initiatives but also strengthen your organization’s adaptability and long-term viability.

What are typical examples of innovation projects that companies frequently undertake?

In innovation projects, companies often focus on bridging current challenges with future-oriented solutions. A typical example is digital transformation, where we at uberneu support companies in digitizing traditional business processes and optimizing them with modern technology. This ranges from implementing cloud services to automating workflows, which not only increases efficiency but also improves customer satisfaction. Additionally, uberneu supports companies in cultivating an innovation culture, encouraging employees to contribute ideas and foster experimentation. Such projects not only enhance market positioning but also secure long-term growth and competitiveness.

Why are you the right partner for my innovation project?

We bring many years of experience in implementing and scaling digital projects – from startups to large enterprises. Our core competencies lie in technology, design, product development, and brand building. We combine these skills with collaborative working methods. We don’t see ourselves as mere “PowerPoint consultants” but as strategic thinkers with vision and, at the same time, implementation-driven professionals with clear goals. We avoid endless processes and execute projects swiftly, reliably, and with a strong focus on return on investment.

This all sounds pretty time-consuming. How long does an innovation project usually take?

Our goal is to save you time, not to take it. The duration of an innovation project can vary greatly, depending on complexity, requirements, and project size. Smaller projects may be completed in just a few weeks, while more comprehensive projects can take several months. Our top priority is delivering high-quality results, which is why we set goals and milestones with you early on to make the process efficient. More precise timelines can only be provided after a detailed review of your requirements and the project scope.

What role do I play as an entrepreneur in this innovation project, and how much time and commitment is expected from me?

Your commitment is crucial to the success of the innovation project, as you set the strategic direction and ensure that innovations have the potential to drive your company forward. Your role is to provide the necessary resources and help drive the innovation culture. Ideally, you actively participate in brainstorming sessions and workshops and give ongoing feedback on the solutions developed. The exact level of time and engagement is agreed upon with you, depending on the project goals and established schedules.

How do you handle intellectual property and patents in relation to innovation projects?

When it comes to intellectual property and patents in innovation projects, we place great value on clarity and fair agreements. Our approach includes clear contractual regulations on the rights and obligations of all parties. We encourage active collaboration and idea development while ensuring that intellectual property rights are clearly defined. Our contractual agreements specify how intellectual property may be used, including licensing agreements and possible exclusive rights for the client. We strictly observe confidentiality and data protection to ensure the security of sensitive information. Our goal is to find a balanced approach that protects intellectual property while fostering innovation and collaboration.

I’d like to start with just a small project to try things out. Is that possible?

A small project is a great way to test our collaboration. We are flexible and happy to support you with your digital initiative. We are ready to discuss your idea, explore the possibilities, and jointly develop a plan that matches your requirements and goals. You can count on us to be just as committed to a small project as we are to larger ones. Let’s talk and take the first step toward your digital transformation.

Is the initial consultation free of charge?

Yes, the first consultation is free of charge. We want to make sure we fully understand your needs and goals before diving into the details. In this first meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know us, ask questions, and tell us more about your company and your challenges. We use this time to give you an overview of our approach and to show you how we can best support you. It’s important to us that you feel well-informed and confident about the next steps.

And what about the price?

Since every project is unique and costs vary depending on scope, complexity, and objectives, we tailor our pricing to your specific requirements. We place great importance on offering fair and transparent pricing that aligns with your budget. Because we prioritize quality over mass production, we also expect fair and timely payment from our clients. Once we have a better understanding of your project, we will be happy to provide you with a concrete proposal.

Where is uberneu actually based?
