Identifying and validating growth options
We help companies identify and validate new growth opportunities by using proven and systematic tools.
Transition Management
We help organizations navigate major changes by providing temporary leadership and structured guidance.
Business model innovation
We challenge teams to think critically about how the current business model can be innovated. Where are the opportunities and what needs to change?
Venture building
With a hands-on approach we are taking an idea from concept to a fully operational, growing company, often using dedicated teams and resources for ideation, validation and market launch.
What we do
NewMeans’ approach is based on years of practical experience with the drivers behind successful innovation, supplemented by a solid theoretical foundation of specially developed innovation tools. NewMeans also actively engages in, coaches, and invests in startups. We innovate together with clients in three different ways: Consultancy, Interim, and Knowledge Sessions.
Consultancy
For example, when you are considering a new growth strategy, a different revenue model or the (re)design of a stage-gate process, this usually takes place in a small team of key stakeholders within your organization. By working together on a consultancy basis, we help your organization to achieve inspiring results in short, successive sprints. From strategy to implementation.
Interim
NewMeans professionals have a proven track record of reviving stalled innovation projects and accelerating the time to market of new business projects. Interim assignments are characterized by longer lead times, more intensive collaboration between your team(s) and our interim professionals, and more opportunities for knowledge transfer.
Knowledge Sessions
During interactive knowledge sessions, we share the insights we’ve gained over the past 15 years and explain the practical application of innovation tools. These tools, combined with our extensive experience in various sectors, give your new business/innovation team direct access to all innovation best practices and transfer new skills.
We innovate. We inspire. We create.
