Attention to the senses and to feelings

Innovation coaching is always done in partnership and at eye level. The aim of innovation coaching is always the implementation of challenges which have been analyzed and set by the company or department management. Benno van Aerssen's particular attention to the senses and to feelings are very special guarantees for success for your objectives.

Thus every single member of the team does not only gain more know-how from a successful coaching but above all is then a multiplier within and outside of the company.

The team becomes the active implementer and ambassador of your corporate goals, as well as company vision, mission and success.

As with all traditional coaching, the following also applies to innovation coaching:

  • it is always voluntary

  • it always needs a clear reason

  • it always requires commitment

  • it always requires passion

  • it is always target-oriented and geared towards the future

  • it is always limited in time

  • it is always supportive.

Systemic and holistic innovation coaching

Benno van Aerssen's' systemic innovation coaching offers companies and organizations the opportunity to develop strategies for increasing innovation over several stages.

Innovation coaching is aimed at companies and organizations who wish to free themselves from current ways of thinking and ways of doing things and who wish to re-align internal processes and structures in order to create a desirable future.

Many companies today are hardly in a position to carry out change processes for the future from within. They even try to overcome current challenges by making as little change as necessary and by maintaining current processes as long as possible.

These companies are in a state of "tension in the present". In this condition, dealing with changing market and customer requirements takes a huge effort.
