Competition and the market deregulation are the
driving forces for momentum and intensity of change in the German
energy supply sector.
The result of mismanaging over
decades within a monopolistic business environment caused in enormous
structural, technological and cultural challenges. In comparison to
other sectors the power supply industry has to tackle many unique
drawbacks and opportunities in the future.
From experience, the exploration of innovations is not
reconsidered within the transformation process of energy supply
companies. However, the capability to exploit and to explore
innovations is essential for all enterprises and sectors.
The
Study "Potential and Capabilities for innovations at energy supply
companies" gives evidence of two fundamental questions to evaluate the
performance of the electricity board with regard to innovations.
What are the potentials in relation to innovations for energy supply companies?
What are the skills and capabilities to explore and realize innovations?
The
objective of this extensive research was to identify the best approach
to structure, use and boost potential innovation capabilities for
energy supply companies.
The enlightening results of the survey are available upon request:
