Uncover the Hidden Innovators Within Your Organisation
Your organisation’s greatest potential may be hidden in plain sight—within the employees you already have. Our research reveals how to identify and empower those with a natural drive for innovation, unlocking a new level of growth and agility.
Is Your Business Ready for the Next Step in Innovation?
With rapid market changes and technological advancements, staying ahead isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. Yet, according to a Boston Consulting Group report, while 75% of decision-makers rank innovation as a top priority, only 20% feel confident in their edge over competitors. This gap highlights an urgent question: could you be missing out on the innovation capabilities already present in your workforce?

Tap into Unexplored Potential
The solution lies in understanding and leveraging your internal talent. The study we invite you to join can reveal which employees naturally align with innovation and how best to support them. Empowering these individuals is key; they are often the drivers of significant, future-defining changes.
Why This Matters
Failing to support your most innovative employees can mean losing them—and the ideas that propel organisations forward. Our methodology, proven through a study published by the CERN IdeaSquare Journal, connects the work environment employees need with what your organisation provides

The Science
The "Journal of Experimental Innovation" from the European Center of Nuclear Research (CERN) published our first scientific article. It examines the gap between the (work) environment companies provide for employees and the environment innovators seek. Data from German Rail (Deutsche Bahn) showed that a simple questionnaire can identify the environment desired by disruptors and innovators.
Frequently Asked Questions
The benchmarking is a comparative study. It looks at the untapped innovation potential in top-tier organisations in various industries across Europe. It seeks to identify employees with a specific mindset that are expected to create businesses differently and with higher chances of success than what we see today.
There are three steps too the process:
- a short questionnaire will reveal the current environment in your organisation compare it to the environment that your innovators and intrapreneur are looking for. The questionnaire contains 18 questions, can be completed online and typically takes about 5-6 minutes.
- Based on the results of the questionnaire and the specific needs of the organisation, a road map is agreed. It will lead to the establishment of a people-centric innovation that drives and supports the transformation your organisation needs.
- The implementation will allow more of your innovators and intrapreneurs to step forward and help prepare your organisation for the future by shaping the needed next steps.
CG Survey found that 75% of decision makers see innovation as a Top 3 priority in their organisation. However, only 20% believe they are meeting their objectives. Today, leading businesses must ask themselves how they can adjust and innovate to stay ahead of the change and competition. “People-Centric Innovation” offers an opportunity to identify the individuals inside your organisation that can prepare your organisations for this emerging future. Through our process, you can identify those individuals, activate their core motivators and fully support them through the creation and implementation of their ideas.
- Identify untapped innovative potential in your organisation

- The questionnaire is available online (computer, tablet, phone) or as a PDF (to be printed).
- Privacy: all personal data (name, age, gender, email, employment, education) is voluntary and will only be communicated in an aggregated form that does not allow for the identification of any individual answers.
- Labour laws: This research promotes better company results, career development and need-based training in line with company objectives. We have cleared the work from a legal perspective. To ensure compliance with agreements and processes within your organisation, we advise the involvement of the appropriate internal representatives. Of course, we will support this conversation with our knowledge and presence, as needed.
www.innovating.work is an initiative started by Steffen Raetzer to improve the survival rate of innovative ideas and thereby significantly improving their impact. The objective is to validate and implement a more people-centric approach to innovation to significantly improve impact, engagement, job satisfaction and financial results.
Based on qualitative Venture Capital data, 90% of all innovative start-ups are lost. In addition, an analysis of post-mortem stories of VC backed start-ups that have failed has shown that more than half of the start-ups fail due to occurrences that are completely or mostly due to people related challenges.
The people-centric innovation approach addresses these issues. It focusses on better supporting the individuals and teams responsible to create, test and implement new ideas. This results in higher engagement for the individual. In addition, it provides a better fit between the individuals and the idea, project or start-up, resulting in higher chances of success and better results.
