TOM SPIKE supports industrial and technology companies in achieving a unique position in the market - by creating innovations for existing customers and new markets.
Companies usually have their day-to-day business well under control. We don’t want to get involved here. It is much more difficult for companies to do something completely new. New products, services and business models. Often in new markets and with new technologies. That is where TOM SPIKE can help. Because innovation is our daily business!
As innovation consultants, we know that “innovation means
Market success – everything else is just a ball pit”. Creativity, fun and agility
is not enough. Real innovation must pay off. And for that innovatoin must
prevail within the organization and in the market. Market
success is what counts. That is why we answer the following questions with our customers
their most frequently asked question: “How will we earn money in 5, 10 or 20
years?”
We develop innovation potential and new business areas in a collaborative and participative manner and develop the portfolio (products, technologies, services) for your future business. With company managers and executives as well as at project team and working level. A systemic approach with expertise from within the organization and experienced external support in sparring. For the next innovation on the market and a lasting increase in your company’s ability to innovate.
At TOM SPIKE we are convinced of our vision “Anyone can innovate”. Every industry and every company. Because successful innovation is not voodoo or magic and does not require eccentric individual geniuses. Innovation is a craft. With serious interest, the right tools and a little support, any organization can be innovative.
Are you responsible for innovation in your organization and want to achieve more for innovation and future business than was previously possible?
We help you to achieve this goal.
Further development, progress and the will to make the impossible possible. Because “best practice” is simply not enough for innovation and a unique position on the market.
Priorities, concentration and determination. Compact workshop formats and bundling of efforts instead of a scattergun approach. Less is more!
Responsibility, initiative and results orientation without blinkers. With professionalism, fun and creativity to economic success.
Partnership-based cooperation internally, externally, cross-functionally and in the innovation ecosystem. Lone wolf ideas and innovations are dying out.
Overcoming and strength to take calculated risks outside the comfort zone. Meeting new target groups with new solutions with self-confidence and an open mind.
An open-minded view of other industries, companies and solutions. Regular new input and food for thought instead of “cooking in your own juice”.
During project acquisition, we understand the consulting client’s key challenges and objectives. 90% of customer needs can be covered with a combination of standard products. These standard products are tried and tested, robust and lead to repeatable success! We complete the rest individually to create a coherent consulting concept.
After the joint conception, the consulting project begins with brief interviews with the most important stakeholders once the contract has been signed. Mostly managers and other multipliers in the organization. At the same time, we clarify the assignment together and record the project objective in writing.
Once the objectives and project boundaries have been defined, the first work and project meetings begin. Typically in workshop formats of two to three days each. Between the face-to-face workshops, both the project teams and TOM SPIKE work independently. Interim online coaching is provided as required. Regular coordination with the client ensures the success of the project and enables any necessary adjustments to be made.
The consulting project concludes with concrete, further recommendations for action and follow-up appointments to ensure the successful further development of the innovation project. TOM SPIKE provides support until the organization is in a position to continue its innovation activities itself.
Organizations have three important questions about new business, new products and innovation:
And the answers should be given in exactly the same order.
Together we find opportunities for innovation on the market. Suitable for your company. With validated sales opportunities.
Real market demand and genuine customer needs are the best motivators for bringing novelty and innovation into the company. Where customer pain in the market and the will of the organization to solve this pain meet, progress and added value thrive for everyone involved.
First innovations in partnership with your company. Prototype, business case and implementation included.
A new approach is always an experiment. Also the approach of creating structured innovations. The pilot project creates rapid innovation successes. Measurable, in demand, targeted and suitable for the organization. At the same time, the organization learns which tools prove their worth, what is not necessary and which bottlenecks need to be eliminated for future innovation success.
A successful approach needs to be repeated. Other divisions are following suit. A culture of innovation emerges.
Even though training, skills development and business processes are important, this is rarely the first step. Without a concrete use case, content will not fall on fertile ground. Little motivation to absorb knowledge, no application, quickly forgotten. It is better to institutionalize successfully tested procedures than theoretical considerations and seminar content.

Find out what advantages you have with these values.
We decide together at the start of the project which expert will accompany your project. The professional fit is just as relevant as credibility and the human component.
In technical terms, we understand developing companies, manufacturing companies and service providers. From previous lives, TOM SPIKE innovation consultants bring experience from their own company start-ups, from product development and organizational development as well as from internal and external management consulting. Complemented by important skills and experience in idea, process and innovation development. All in all, the TOM SPIKE team is your architect and companion for innovation success in your company.
In human terms, we at TOM SPIKE are experienced, professional and unconventional. A rather rare combination
Sub-projects in the innovation process usually take three to six months. An overall project usually lasts between 12 and 18 months. Individual services such as coaching or training sessions last from one day to a few weeks.
The main goal of TOM SPIKE is to help our customers to innovate successfully. In the real project. Training and coaching can be part of this and our innovation consultants also have the relevant qualifications and experience. Nevertheless, we see ourselves primarily as companions, supporters and consultants and only secondarily as trainers and coaches.
Management consulting and innovation are sensitive topics. As a result, we are rarely able to name our clients publicly, and even more rarely their specific projects. Here you will find a selection of success stories, references and case studies.
The serious answer, of course, can only be: It depends.
On the basis of the concept created for you free of charge, we estimate the time schedule and costs. In this way, we calculate a fixed offer price that exceeds your added value many times over. For this fixed price, we undertake to achieve the desired result. No hidden costs, no accumulation of consulting hours, no surprises. In exceptional cases, we work on a daily rate basis.
