What our colleagues have to say

“Inventors’ imagination must be given a free rein,” says Daniel Brück. While familiar with a range of creativity techniques from his degree course, the Innovations Manager firmly believes in “letting good ideas run wild. Every idea is valid.” This often leads to amazing things, like a VX25 he helped to develop. “Even if you end up scrapping nine out of ten ideas, you are still left with one good one.” So what does this role need? “Creative freedom,” Daniel Brück responds immediately, because “unfortunately, you don’t get ideas by pushing a button.” Face-to-face exchanges with his team are also important, he says. “I find this is the best way of exploring new avenues.”
