Innovation for growth

“I believe that Philips End User Driven Innovation is an excellent philosophy and methodology that has enhanced our thinking about how to organize innovation.”

“Professional approach and good teamwork between the specialists of both teams. The idea & concept generation process was supported by a team of enthusiastic specialists that focused on searching for new ideas. This direct approach resulted in a few interesting possibilities for innovation.”

“Especially the support in business model innovation yielded plausible business model options that we use to define our go-to-market strategy. It highlighted our strengths but also pointed out what we need to make this new business a success in China and globally.”

“You guys are great enablers for our business. You put new ideas in our heads and widened our view of how to become a more services oriented company. Having a central team with these capabilities that are not present in the business units is crucial for the future success of our company.”

“In a very initial phase of the project Philips Innovation Services – Industry consulting delivered a high quality and convincing business track (business modelling and business case) by applying their pragmatic, structured approach.”

“I enjoyed working with the people from Philips Innovation Services – Industry consulting. They were highly professional and determined to fully understand our business case and deliver results. Communication, an essential part of working with any contractor, was frequent, and I experienced our sessions as very pleasant and highly useful. We obtained results that are immediately actionable for our business.”

“With the Value Network tool, Industry consulting helped us to clearly identify where we sit in the value chain, who the critical players are, and how we evolve to have a stronger presence. A simple but effective tool in mapping our Value Network.”

“Industry consulting helped us see the possibilities in the minefield of patents regarding cups. Through systematic analysis we found new, patentable, solutions.”

“Industry consulting worked fast and very focused, delivering excellent work on a complex topic in a short timeframe.”

“The tools and methodologies that Industry consulting brought to the table in this project were extremely helpful in helping us shape our value proposition and business model. The team helped us formulate hypotheses about our proposition and planned market approach, and also to test them with relevant stakeholders through qualitative interviews. We were able to quickly create an effective cross-functional working group, distributing responsibilities among members so as to produce results relatively fast. Thank you very much!”

“Straight deep dive into content based analysis, eager to get results and professional attitude – highly recommended!”

“During an intensive change process, the consultants of Philips Innovation Services – Industry consulting guided us in the improvement of our innovation system. They assisted us with every relevant aspect to set our innovation strategy, to improve our innovation portfolio and to objectively evaluate running and finished projects. They assisted us with in-depth knowledge and a practical approach, tailored for our company. This was not limited to a theoretical advise, but it included the on-the-job implementation.”

“The team effectively employed excellent methodological frameworks to address our business questions, had great access to data, were resourceful, extremely open-minded and creative. They learned about our business needs very quickly and it was clear from the get-go that they are going all-out to help us achieve the answers we needed.  It was a pleasure to work together and I look forward to our next join work!”

“I like the flexibility Philips Innovation Services. This was quite a fussy project with an ongoing changing scope. Which required a constant pivoting of plans. But the consultants could very well think along in what were valuable business deliverables at this stage in the project.”

“I worked with the Philips Innovation Services team during the Breakthrough Acceleration Program, and subsequent pre-seed venture stage. The Philips Innovation Services consultants were an integral part of the team, and with their business acumen and in-depth domain knowledge invaluable team members. I would like to highlight their professional communication style and impeccable diligence, which made interactions as pleasant as enriching.”

The work that Philips Innovation Services has done with us to get our new device ready for development is now complete. I cannot overemphasize what a positive experience this has been. The innovation services team is amazing and has skillfully turned around what in retrospect was a very flimsy project into something that now has a good chance of success.
