Quick Read
Frank Müller, Senior Vice President Sales & Service Business Development at STILL, emphasized in his laudatory speech: “Stefan Hohm exemplifies a modern understanding of leadership – one that sees change not as a risk but as a space for shaping the future. More decisive than the what of his innovations is the how: he creates structures in which new ideas can emerge, driven by attitude, teamwork, and the aspiration to do the right things right in the long term.”
Innovation as a collective effort
The firm anchoring of innovation processes throughout the company is of central importance at DACHSER. Stefan Hohm comments: “For me, innovation is never the work of a single individual. Truly new things can only emerge when innovation is a shared goal. Only this collective attitude—the innovation mindset—creates the necessary support to develop ideas into real innovations and multiply them across the network.” At DACHSER, the strategic focus program Idea2net structures the innovation process. It ensures the participation of over 30,000 employees worldwide. In collaboration with the DACHSER Enterprise Lab, which DACHSER operates with the Fraunhofer Institutes IML and IAIS, ideas are then turned into projects, prototypes, and pilots, which ultimately create practical value for the network at the end of the innovation cycle.
“The wealth of ideas we see in the network is impressive,” says Stefan Hohm. “That’s why I clearly see the ‘Logistics Leader of the Year’ award as a tribute to our great teams throughout the network. Their commitment and passion to always improve and think outside the box is a key component of our success.”
For me, innovation is never the work of a single individual. Truly new things can only emerge when innovation is a shared goal.
