Severiano Ballesteros, a Golf Champion once said: “A good attitude is more important than a good swing”. In this sense, the Managing Director R&D Agustin Ramos summarized why he initiated the crowd empowered innovation lab together with MAMs’ owner Peter Röhrig: “With our MAM attitude to learning we started a new approach to innovation with the objective to develop a new-to-the-world product, in a new category for MAM, in one quarter of the time that it normally takes us to develop more conventional products. Four months later we are where we wanted to be, something unconceivable four months before. All it took was a commitment to focus enough and the right resources on it, as well as allow new ways of doing usercentric innovation. It also took hard work, but the exhilarating feeling of seeing that “we” together, each of the team members, as well as the differently involved consumers, can make a difference to reach our ambitious goals was worth it”.
