InsightArt® — Innovations that make sense

DE | EN

Insight­Art® is an agile, inter­di­sci­pli­nary and stra­te­gic rese­arch and inno­va­tion con­cept we have deve­lo­ped over the last 12 years and under­lies all INNCH Gui­des — it does not sepa­rate psy­cho­lo­gi­cal rese­arch from pro­fes­sio­nal idea, con­cept and design development.

Inno­va­tion-led rese­arch con­sis­t­ently ali­gns with what inno­va­tion needs from rese­arch. Rese­arch-led inno­va­tion spe­ci­fi­cally deve­lops solu­ti­ons for the needs and moti­ves of con­su­mer tar­get groups. Both rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment are spe­ci­fi­cally geared to the stra­te­gies of the com­pany and the strengths of the team.

As a result, many pro­blems at the usual inter­sec­tions do not arise in the first place. Insights from mar­ket rese­arch are really reflec­ted in the crea­tion. Ideas or com­mu­ni­ca­tion designs are novel and crea­tive, stra­tegy-dri­ven and con­su­mer-ori­en­ted at the same time. Trial & error loops are minimized.

Com­pon­ents of the Insight­Art® pro­cess are, depen­ding on the question:

Psy­cho­lo­gi­cal mar­ket, trend and design research

Pro­mi­sing inno­va­tions serve people’s needs, address their hid­den moti­ves, their lon­gings or con­cerns, and offer them emo­tio­nal added value. Pro­mi­sing design ‘docks’ opti­mally with people’s inner visual worlds — their ideas, desi­res or lon­gings. Because only inno­va­tion or com­mu­ni­ca­tion that under­stands people’s dreams makes sense.

We track down these ‘dreams’ through psy­cho­lo­gi­cal and crea­tive rese­arch. Not mar­ket rese­arch in the clas­sic sense, but InsightArt®research, which spe­ci­fi­cally pro­vi­des the pivo­tal point for crea­tion — the psy­cho­lo­gi­cal code — as well as sen­sual inspi­ra­tio­nal material.

Mar­ke­ting and strategy

Pro­mi­sing inno­va­tions and com­mu­ni­ca­tion are part of a well thought-out stra­tegy, they pick up on the strengths of the com­pany and the values of the brand and deve­lop them fur­ther. Inno­va­tions use the poten­tial that exists in the com­pany and the team. Because only inno­va­tion that is backed by the heart and soul of the peo­ple behind it makes sense.

To this end, we con­duct — in addi­tion to detailed brie­fings with mar­ke­ting — writ­ten or face-to-face inter­views with the team, if requi­red, or inves­ti­gate the mar­ket and ana­lyze the core of the brand.

Crea­tion and innovation

Pro­mi­sing inno­va­tions and com­mu­ni­ca­tion emerge when crea­tive and inter­di­sci­pli­nary teams work tog­e­ther over a lon­ger period of time, and when they let go, dis­solve old thought pat­terns and crea­tively des­troy what alre­ady exists. Input and inspi­ra­tion for this is pro­vi­ded by insight from rese­arch as well as ana­ly­sis of the inside view. They are part of the fabric that ‘dreams’ are made of.

For this pur­pose we deve­lop an indi­vi­dual pro­cess design for InsightArt®teamLabs on- or off­line. A good pro­cess design is one that allows par­ti­ci­pants to unleash their ima­gi­na­tion, that sti­mu­la­tes intui­tive, ana­lo­gi­cal thin­king, and at the same time ensu­res that any ideas and con­cepts deve­lo­ped are alre­ady hea­ding in the right direc­tion. Even wit­hout having to deal with rese­arch results.
