INNOVATION.ORGANIZATION

The goal of innovation organization in the logistics and maritime industry is to make innovation structural, scalable and goal-oriented within a company or chain. Instead of being dependent on loose ideas or coincidences, it is about setting up an organizational culture, processes and structures in which innovation takes place continuously and purposefully .


1. From ad-hoc to structured innovation

Many companies have great ideas, but no system to execute them. Innovation organization focuses on setting up processes, roles and rhythms to capture, test and implement ideas.

 

2. Increase agility

The maritime and logistics sector is under pressure from sustainability, digitalisation and geopolitical shifts. A well-organised innovation culture makes a company flexible and future-proof.

 

3. Putting people and knowledge first

Innovation is not possible without committed people. A strong innovation organization stimulates collaboration between departments, disciplines and chain partners – with room for creativity, learning and ownership.

 

4. Linking strategy and implementation

Innovation without direction yields little. An innovation organization ensures a clear connection between strategic goals and the innovation projects that contribute to them.

 

5. Accelerating and scaling innovations

With the right structure – including budgets, innovation processes, KPIs and evaluation – successful initiatives can be rolled out and scaled faster, within or outside the organization.

 

6. Collaborate with the chain or ecosystems

In logistics, no one works alone. Innovation organization also focuses on open innovation, partnerships and ecosystems – to make progress together with customers, suppliers or governments.
