Of people, technologies and organisations

Innovation does not just happen, but is the result of optimal corporate development that takes into account the three components of people, technology and organisation.

The right use of innovations makes the difference between successful and less successful companies. Numerous practical examples show that the effects of innovative work equipment quickly fizzle out if investments are not also made in the users and in operational processes.

A holistic approach to corporate development is the MTO concept, which focuses on the interaction of the three aspects of people, technology and organisation. The model is based on the insight that companies must continuously find new ways to remain competitive. However, innovative technologies prove to be useless if they are not supported by people or are not embedded in the processes within the organisation as a whole.

The link between people, technology and processes is that people use technology to carry out processes and achieve their goals. Technology can improve the efficiency and productivity of processes, while people contribute their knowledge and skills to make the best use of technology and manage the processes.

The MTO model strives to design work systems to meet both the individual needs and capabilities of employees and the needs of the organisation. Optimal alignment leads to better work outcomes, as every interaction between people, technology and the organisation has a significant impact on the efficiency, performance and satisfaction of employees.

The combination of holistic corporate development with a strong innovation orientation is the prerequisite for long-term success. Companies that integrate people, technology and organisation into their strategic direction are better positioned to meet the challenges of the ever-changing business world and achieve sustainable growth.
