Practical Contribution in the Idea Management Handbook

Hammerwerk Fridingen GmbH has presented its internal idea management system as a co-creator in one of 30 practical contributions featured in the Idea Management Handbook.
 
The official book launch took place on September 25, 2025, as part of the Autumn Conference on Idea Management, organized by the Center for Idea Management in Mannheim.
 
The Idea Management Handbook is published in two volumes and is self-published through the German Institute for Idea and Innovation Management.
 
What makes this particularly noteworthy is that 200 distinguished experts in idea management contributed as co-creators to shaping a new standard for idea management, replacing the previous definition established 50 years ago.
 
The result is a handbook offering fully revised and modernized knowledge on idea management with a strong focus on practical application.

The Idea Management Handbook
 
The Idea Management Handbook is aimed at anyone striving to achieve a higher level of idea management — a so-called “next level.” It provides a new, systematic knowledge foundation to unlock opportunities and create value: strengthening culture, aligning strategy, improving performance, and achieving economic objectives.
 
Volume 1 is structured in accordance with international management system standards and is organized into the following sections: fundamentals, alignment, implementation, and results.
 
Volume 2 focuses on optimizing idea management, particularly by incorporating future trends and addressing cultural and regional differences on a global scale.
