​It is always exciting to start something new. This week in Thailand, we launched an Innovation Program to drive Operational Excellence for the production site here.

Inception of a new way of thinking: accelerating results with focus and structure. We defined six opportunity areas which we will work on over the next  12 months.

What I have learned? Build on existing activities and explain based on examples - keep this in mind.

Exciting!

This week, I spend one and a half days with the diverse BPO team in Singapore. We discussed how to lead with positivity, define meaningful and actionable objectives and tried ourselves in creative solution finding.

What did I learn? Yes, people like crazy ideas and they are important as inspiration to start things in a new way.

“If we keep doing the same thing, 
we keep getting the same results.
In order to grow, we all need to start 
doing things differently!”

​Last week we have reflected on the innovation program for our R&D team in China.

a) a structure to regularly interact, be creative and execute these ideas is leading to success

b) we need to focus on two type of innovation: one driven by market needs; another driven by cutting-edge technology

c) we need to cross more silos; engaging with more people in other functions, other regions, etc.

Thank you very much for your continued support!
