Background
The basis for change is the commitment of decision-makers. However, a true revolution begins with the employees. Only those who can move their heads in that direction can achieve sustainable transformation. But how does this work in the context of a software company that operates in the highly regulated healthcare market and is characterised by traditional structures and people who mediate between users and service providers?
Overview
Over a four-year period, zero360 initiated transformation projects at various organisational levels that have enabled a cultural change for AOK Systems. We accompanied numerous new product developments and enabled employees to develop and implement short and long-term method training formats. In addition, we designed an innovation lab with AOK Systems and provided support for the implementation of three ideas to the technical prototype. We also helped the company develop and shape the content of its vision. As a result, user-centred thinking and action have become an integral part of AOK's overall organisational culture.
