<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In this article you will learn about the innovation management process of DOMO-Chemicals, an international manufacturer of specialty chemicals. The company produces polymers for the automotive, textile and plastics industries at its sites in Leuna (D), Premnitz (D), Buford, GA (USA), Arco (IT), Cesano Maderno (IT) and Jiaxing City (CHN). Through its innovation management<\/a>, the company connects almost 900 employees in four countries.<\/p>\n

This article shows how DOMO Chemicals implements the innovation process<\/a> with the help of Innolytics\u00ae<\/sup> idea management software<\/a> and innovation management software<\/a>, focusing primarily on the first phase – the process of identifying and understanding problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Phase 1 in the innovation management process: structured discussions<\/h2><\/div>

Albert Einstein once said:<\/p>\n

If I had an hour to solve a problem I\u2019d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DOMO Chemicals follows this principle. The first step in the innovation management process is to discuss and understand problems in a structured manner.<\/p>\n

The development of an innovation management process was the first important step for us. With a complex production like ours, it is not enough simply to develop an idea for a problem. Often the problem is just the symptom. It is crucial to precisely analyse and understand the underlying causes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

explains Matthias Schmidt, Head of Innovation at DOMO Chemicals.<\/p>\n

In the first step of the innovation process, employees enter questions and theses which are then discussed online.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Discussions at DOMO Chemicals follow a clear structure:<\/p>\n<\/div>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    After employees open a new discussion, the contributions are first examined by an innovation coach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    As soon as they are published, the discussion is opened by a moderator. In this discussion phase, the comment functions are enabled. Users can discuss challenges in a structured manner and respond to comments from other users.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    In the second phase, the discussion will be evaluated. Platform users vote on how far the problem should go into the next phase – the development of ideas. The comment functions are deactivated in the evaluation phase.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
