Promoters of new business

Everybody is talking about Work 4.0, but not much changes. If you listen, people are talking about their own responsibility, freedom, work-life balance, and such things. However, when something depends on them, these thoughts, ideas, and keywords are quickly forgotten – and this is precisely what we don’t want.

At the start of 2016, we decided to change our whole company. We question everything and do not simply prescribe ideas for modern work; instead, we develop these together step by step. And we do this precisely where we believe it makes sense.

Based on our vision of a world in which all products function as expected, we start with ourselves. This is a nice notion to which we feel obligated and for the sake of which we take on new challenges every day. Zero defects begin here and we can achieve this better if we ourselves — every single one of us — makes a contribution.

According to our concept, this is inconceivable in a hierarchical, Tayloristic world. Self-awareness and individual responsibility can only actually be implemented if we are prepared to admit defects, to learn from these, and thus to derive from the responsibility for oneself a responsibility for the entire company.

Our attitude, our daily actions, and our decisions are shaped by our vision and limited by the values and rules that we ourselves have formulated. Our internal designation for this project, which will probably never end, is “Uff geht’s” (a regional way of saying “let’s go”)

We understand agility as the complement to classic management. We would like to completely reunite thinking and action and confront the complex requirements of our daily work with flexibility, creativity, and pragmatism. Our special motivation is that we believe that our products and projects must function the same way. Since we have been active for many years in Industry 4.0 initiatives anyway, it is logical for us that collaboration and integration into production can be implemented in organizations hand-in-hand with the same ideas. Agile methods, interdisciplinary teams, short communication paths, and quick decisions by each individual are the key for this transformation.

The intrinsify.me network helps us perform the tasks, learn other ways of looking at things and of transferring our knowledge and our experience to other people. Conversations, meetings, and discussions with like-minded people are a source of inspiration for us, one from which we can all profit. This is why we hold regular meet-ups in Karlsruhe, so that we can help other people on their path toward new, better working worlds.
