  • Expert Meetings – Market Surveys – Market Communications
    Recent developments in technology and the markets and their judgement by decision makers and managers in charge of IT, sales, Purchasing, and others are known to us from a mutual exchange of thoughts. These expert meetings with IT user firms as well as IT and IT service providers are a substantial part of IIW´s practice-oriented market communications.
  • Moderation / Workshops / Think Tank
    The management of change first of all requires exploration, delivery, collecting and assorting, documentation, and evaluation of ideas and inspiring pieces of information. In this early stages, information support, moderation and workshops are appropriate methods. During these stages of development, the IIW has repeatedly well performed as an ideal Think Tank for IT service units and IT technology firms.
  • Conceptual Work / Consulting
    Analysis itself does not solve problems. Therefore, we also give conceptual support, or accompany our clients until the concept has successfully been implemented.  This approach includes “routine” issues as well as rather innovative situations. Co-operation with the IIW may start with moderation and workshops, be limited to project management only, or gradually be extended to full-size consulting and implementation projects.
  • Implementation / Solutions
    Although the IIW is no systems or software company, in some cases we may also put your concept into practice. We then create feasible solutions, within short terms and at reasonable cost.
  • Training / Customised Seminars
    From us as a scientific institute you may expect a substantially contribution to transfers of know-how from university to practice. We offer dedicated, tailor-made seminars and workshops at your service, taking place in-house at your site or at selected seminar locations
