Idea Management for the Engineering Industry
In a highly pressured, competitive environment, Wazoku helps engineering companies power-up their innovation strategies in the face of competing challenges.
Just a few of our Everyday Innovators:
Despite overall market growth, the engineering industry is undergoing dramatic change with numerous challenges such as:
- Increasing importance of sustainable development
- Intensifying cost pressures, with a trend towards fixed-bid projects with extremely tight budgets
- Advances in technology and the need for rapid adoption, as well as an increasing demand for tech skills
- Labour shortages, with an ageing workforce and a low number of women in engineering
- Demand for higher operations precision and efficiency
- The need to co-create with diverse groups - suppliers, manufacturers, vendors, partners etc.
