Customers do more than just buy a product, they yearn for solutions that effectively address their specific needs. So how can you anticipate these buying motives to position your business for success? Join Verhaert ‘s Innovation Day in Kruibeke on November 21st for interactive demos, in-depth talks, and customizable toolsets. In 5 thematic tracks, you’ll get inspired by the latest innovation breakthroughs and firsthand experience how to master outcome-based solutions.
Embracing outcome-based innovation
Historically, companies pursued innovation by enhancing product qualities, improving affordability, or adding features. This way they wanted to create more added value or become more competitive. Today, a rising group of innovation leaders is shifting focus to elevating customer outcomes and experiences, by integrating the product as an asset into new business model innovations. That’s where outcome-based innovation takes center stage, where the spotlight shifts from the product to its service potential or enabling business model.
By aiming for superior customer outcomes, outcome-based innovation yields greater added value than any other type of innovation. But how does this translate into practice? It involves integrating new technologies, adopting circular economy, or embracing product-as-a-service (PaaS) innovation. The aim is to nurture products that surpass their traditional roles, amplifying their impact on the world during use.

Wit-Gele Kruis West Flanders is committed to delivering high-quality care to patients in their own environment. To optimize the logistics of medical equipment for nurses, they’re launching a handy all-in-the-box car organizer. An idea originally conceived by a home care nurse and further developed with professional partners including Verhaert Masters in Innovation, a European service provider in innovation. Thanks to its innovative approach, Verhaert succeeded in identifying important, unprecedented facets related to the various stakeholders. This included going deeper into essential steps in the design process and taking into account current requirements for circularity.
Cooperation as a driving force for innovation, inside and outside the organization
Wit-Gele Kruis West Flanders believes it’s important that innovation stays close to the day-to-day lives of its nurses and helps to relieve them. The idea of a nurse to develop a new organizer that is orderly, practical, and hygienic was picked up by the organization. Through an intensive process, the idea was further developed in collaboration with a master's student in product development, MakerHealth Howest and Verhaert, among others.
The secret of successful innovation: a holistic approach
Creating products that meet the users’ needs, desires, and requirements, is valued highly at Verhaert. An extensive analysis of the needs of home nurses is therefore an important part of the development process. Structured workshops were organized with stakeholders from various domains to identify in detail both user needs and logistical and financial considerations during the design phase.
After an iterative validation phase of several prototypes, Verhaert proceeded to product engineering, optimizing the final production design. By considering technical, production-related, and user aspects, Verhaert ensured technical feasibility (viable) as well as successful fulfillment of users’ needs and desires (desirable). The organizer provides functional and ergonomically access to any type of care product and can be integrated with the nursing bag, making it the most practical and complete solution on the market.
A circular life cycle
The demand for environmental awareness is increasing day by day. Sustainability and ecology are important drivers in the product development process. The all-in-the-box offers an efficient storage solution design with a circular business model in mind. The product is fully geared toward circularity, with opportunities for refurbishment and 100% recycling. The organizer is made of mono-material, making recycling at end-of-life simple and feasible. Polypropylene with a closed cell structure, also offers durability and robustness with significantly less weight. In addition, flatpack delivery on a euro pallet minimizes fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. Production is also set up with attention to the inclusion of social employment.
Innovative healthcare logistics gains a new dimension
The all-in-the-box solution optimizes the logistics process and reduces costs by limiting expired materials. Nurses are pleased too, as this solution allows them to focus more on patient care. This innovation extends to the broader healthcare sector, where, upon positive validation, the product can be made available to other (home) care organizations.
“The real added value of this development was born from our co-creative workshops. Each stakeholder, whether it was the care provider, logistics department, or financial services, provided unique contributions from their expertise. Thanks to this iterative approach with the integration of concept and prototype validation, we were able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together smoothly,” says Gerd Van Cauteren, Coordinator DesignLab at Verhaert Masters in Innovation.
17 januari 2024 - Het huidige economische landschap stelt ondernemers op de proef. Denk maar aan de digitale transitie, wijzigende regelgeving, economische onzekerheid en stijgende lasten op arbeid. Start-ups, scale-ups en kmo’s vinden niet altijd de middelen, tijd of expertise om deze uitdagingen het hoofd te bieden. Dat merkte ook full service partner Unikoo: hoewel zij al een hele verscheidenheid aan expertise in administratie, HR, marketing en development ter beschikking stellen, klonk ook de vraag naar meer strategische ondersteuning het afgelopen jaar luider dan ooit. Een vraag waar Unikoo nu antwoord op biedt met de lancering van hun CFO en CTO-as-a-Service model.
Ondernemers hebben het niet makkelijk, zo blijkt ook opnieuw uit de meest recente KMO-barometer van Unizo. Bedrijven worstelen om geschikte arbeidskrachten te vinden en maken zich zorgen om hun rendabiliteit. Het aantal faillissementen steeg bovendien fors het afgelopen jaar. Ondernemers moeten op zoek naar de juiste mensen om hen door dit nieuwe economische landschap te helpen navigeren, maar in vele gevallen ontbreken de middelen om dit soort leidende C-level profielen aan te werven. Met haar CFO en CTO-as-a-Service modellen wil Unikoo deze ondernemers de hand reiken.
“CFO-as-a-Service (CFOaaS) en CTO-as-a-Service (CTOaaS), een model dat de laatste jaren steeds meer populariteit won, vormt een logische uitbreiding op onze bestaande dienstverlening. Onze klanten, vaak bedrijven in volle groei, kunnen nu bij Unikoo terecht voor zowel operationele ondersteuning als advies bij het oplossen van complexe beleidsvraagstukken, het maken van strategische keuzes of het plannen van klankbordsessies. We zochten én vonden twee kleppers van profielen die onze klanten kunnen verder helpen met uitdagingen op het hoogste niveau van de beleidsvoering”, aldus Kenn Wouters, zaakvoerder van Unikoo.
Nick Van Meerbeeck, voormalig Head of Controlling bij Port of Antwerp, zal de uitrol van CFOaaS op zich nemen. “Het voordeel van zulke samenwerking is dat klanten heel gericht advies kunnen inwinnen over een specifieke topic of voor uitdagingen waar ze op dat moment mee zitten. Ad hoc, dus zonder de aanzienlijke kost van een fulltime CFO op de payroll, maar wel op hoog niveau. Een CFO denkt mee met het management, stemt de financiële strategie af op de beleidsvisie, zorgt dat het bedrijf de juiste strategische prioriteiten stelt en neemt onzekerheid weg. Heel wat bedrijven zijn hiermee geholpen, zelfs met ‘maar’ een parttime ondersteuning van enkele dagen per maand.”
Voor ondersteuning op vlak van technologie kunnen bedrijven beroep doen op Cynric Huys als CTO on demand. “Veel bedrijven weten dat ze meer moeten inzetten op digitalisatie, maar vaak weten ze niet hoe ze hier effectief mee aan de slag kunnen gaan. Wij willen klanten op een flexibele en kost-efficiënte manier begeleiden in hun digitale uitdagingen. Niet enkel met advies, maar ook met hands-on operationele implementatie. Onze geïntegreerde aanpak breekt de zogenoemde silo‘s binnen organisaties en is gericht op bedrijven die willen inzetten op technologie, maar de middelen missen of niet weten hoe ze dit moeten aanpakken. Het CTO-as-a-Service model biedt voor hen een pragmatische oplossing aan een toegankelijk tarief.”
Startups, scale-ups en kmo’s kunnen beroep doen op de CTO en CFO als eindverantwoordelijke in het uitrollen van een impactvol project. Ze kunnen optreden als volwaardig deel van het managementteam, als partner die de belangen van de organisatie behartigt. Ook voor investeerders kan de inzet van een fractional CFO of CTO meer zekerheid brengen in het opvolgen van (nieuwe) business ventures.
Ook voor bedrijven die al een CFO of CTO in dienst hebben, kan de extra ondersteuning een sterke meerwaarde bieden. Als sparringpartner bijvoorbeeld, of wanneer de werkdruk voor de huidige verantwoordelijke tijdelijk te zwaar wordt door bijkomende projecten zoals een aankomende kapitaalronde of een digitalisatietraject. Extra C-level ondersteuning biedt ademruimte aan het management, iets wat in deze tijden zeker niet onbelangrijk is.
