Boosting Supplier Innovation for an Air Conditioning Equipment Manufacturer
Presentation
Our client, a manufacturer of heating and air conditioning equipment, wants to boost supplier innovation. KEPLER offers to build a global framework and pilot projects on several selected innovation topics.
Context
- Global and decentralized industrial company with innovation at the heart of its strategy
- Innovation is almost entirely driven internally, without harnessing the skills of suppliers: “Not Invented Here” syndrome
- Internal resistance, mistrust in suppliers and unfortunate experiences in the past all have led to discouragement on both sides, procurement showing little involvement in innovation governance
