INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

At König + Neurath, the development process begins with an extensive exchange with various stakeholders. An extensive network of customers, suppliers, universities and institutes provides us with a wide range of inspiration for portfolio development. Continuous and global research into innovative materials, solutions, trends in interior architecture and design, as well as an analysis of the environment, enable König + Neurath to gain a comprehensive picture of new trends - be they changes in society, working and living styles, consumption or communication and social behaviour, or in the field of technology and digitalization. It provides König + Neurath with valuable information about the world of work, which is used for current and future developments. A wide range of input from the market - from various departments within the company - is utilized by the König + Neurath portfolio team. This results in a targeted portfolio strategy with a clear target image, the „portfolio vision“.

The world of work is changing - and with it the demands on work cultures: spatially, technically and organizationally. The traditional office workplace is becoming less important, while creative collaboration and agile working are becoming increasingly relevant. Digitalization also makes it possible to work across spatial boundaries.

This development presents companies with new challenges. König + Neurath develops forward-looking, holistic furnishing solutions and tools that enable companies to react flexibly to different working methods and requirements - inspired by current trends in living, fashion, architecture and lifestyle, but also by specific customer requirements. By selecting innovative materials with special properties and integrating state-of-theart technology, the company expands the classic functionality of the furniture.

König + Neurath has state-of-the-art production processes and the vertical range of manufacture to create customized working environments tailored to specific customer requirements, in which employees can develop their full potential.

Numerous, regularly won national and international design awards and currently around 90 active industrial property rights testify to the company‘s independence and innovative strength.

Through holistic consulting and a structured approach with the help of the WORK.STYLE.CULTURE workshop, we can gain important impetus for the innovation process and our product development. From our dialog with specialist retailers, network partners and end customers on topics such as megatrends and their impact on a wide range of industries, we gain key insights that are supplemented by market analyses and incorporated into the development process of König + Neurath products in a targeted manner.

The exchange of knowledge and the resulting new ways of working will become key factors for a company‘s success in the future. All means and methods that are subject to changing processes and are components of agile, network-like structures will in all likelihood be superior to linear and hierarchical structures in terms of speed and value creation. König + Neurath therefore creates spatial framework conditions and furnishing solutions for its customers that serve the development of potential and the growth of knowledge.
