Business Strategy Overview

This is the description our business strategy. To make this public is consistent with our value. Our customers and partners should not only look at our offerings and reference, but also understand our culture and how we shape our business, as they are impacted by our strategy. Also we actively seek feedback on our strategy from our clients and partners.

We don’t believe in strategies that do not change within any strategic planning timeline. Every unusual event or new observation needs to be evaluated, if it has an impact on the strategy of the organization – You can call it real-time strategy. Of course, not every event has impact on the strategy. In order to achieve this goal of near real-time adoption of the strategy, every member of the organization needs to be across the current version of the strategy and be able to decide, if what she sees or hears can have a potential impact and bringing it immediately to the attention to the person responsible for the strategy. This also means that we don’t need a yearly strategic planning period. We do of course review our objectives for every year, reflect and set new once of the year ahead.

Our strategy is based on many industry best practice frameworks and models. We do not want to reinvent the wheel, when it is not necessary, but rather reuse and customize.

Values

Trust over control
We trust people, rather than control them.
If we think we need to control people, we will not consider working with them.
Coaching and mentorship is not controlling for us.

Growth mindset over fixed mindset
Every individual at INOVIA needs to have a growth mindset.
This is not only important for our customers and partners, but also for everyone personally. We help people to get there through continuous learning opportunities.

Outcomes over promises
We rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around.
We don’t commit to work we can’t deliver.

Excellence over mediocracy
Striving for excellence creates personal and professional growth, as well as generate the value we want to deliver for our customers and partners.
Excellence can only happen in a team and for us doesn’t happen at the expense of others.

Sustainability over quick fixes
Our work and solutions need to create a measurable, sustainable value for the organizations we are working for and with.We see value bigger than financial performance and therefore subscribe to the concept of the Triple Bottom Line.

Human-centricity over hyper-efficiency
Humans create solutions for humans, even if work is augmented by technology, like AI.
Design Thinking and an Agile Way of Working is what we use to be human-centric and effective, while still looking into efficiency improvement opportunities through technology.

Holistic value over cost cutting
Value is not only created through cutting cost or increase revenue.
We believe in a business value portfolio approach to increase value in a more holistic way with metrics around business values like CO₂ footprint reduction, decreased human rights violations in the supply chain and less waste created during production.

See challenges as opportunities
Challenges provide learning opportunities that make us better.
We support each other, our customers and partners to transform challenges to opportunities.
