Number: MER0003NT3 The team ''Ideation & Customer Insights'' is a research team of Mercedes-Benz AG in the field of PIONEERING NeXt. We are the competence center for professional ideas generation and empirical customer research. We answer development-relevant questions in research and development with tailor-made creative workshops and test subjects. We explore requirements and needs of current and future customers. By using creative methods, we support cross-functional experts in developing innovative solutions and strategies. We also test technical innovations for their acceptance and usability. With our findings we provide guidance and valuable decision-making aids along the innovation process. Partial team Ideation (InnoWerk): The “Ideation” sub-team organizes between 60 and 80 workshops per year, leading around 1500 employees and external colleagues through the ideation process on topics such as new drive possibilities, series or mobility concepts of the future. Inspired by design thinking, Google Sprint, the Persona approach and user experience methods, InnoWerk has been working successfully for 25 years on different future trends of Mercedes-Benz AG. For the Ideation Workshops, the InnoWerk uses a unique working space with 500 sqm. In order to tailor these workshops to the wishes of the clients, the team draws on years of experience and the ongoing evolved internal method collection and workshop formats. The Ideation team is therefore at the forefront of the Research & Development Process Chain and, starting with the development of new innovations, will support the development of the next generation of vehicles. You work with engineers, sociologists, psychologists, economists and designers. We also appreciate interdisciplinaryness with our interns.
