Innovation Management at Golden Gateway

Golden Gateway Holding upholds innovation as the most fundamental tool not only for internal development but also offering the highest level of values to our customers, industries we serve for and the entire world. 
This mindset goes beyond continuous improvement of our products and services, showing our dedication to look for and apply the better in every area from our practices to organization structure.  

In today's world of global competition and rapid change, treating innovation as a strategic priority is a critical requirement to shape not only the present but also the future. Created with this mindset, our Innovation Management Office aims to facilitate innovation processes in Golden Gateway in a systematic, inclusive and sustainable manner. 

Systematic Innovation Processes

Our innovation efforts are managed via a structured process where the steps are defined and chance factor is minimized. 
Key stages of our processes include:

• Identification of Units and Training: Units where innovation activities take place are selected, and special trainings are provided to our co-workers to improve their innovative thinking skills. 
• Brainstorming Sessions: Our co-workers meet and discuss department-specific topics to develop creative ideas.
• Consolidation and Evaluation of Ideas: Developed ideas are scored objectively based on certain criteria (effects on revenues/expenses, customer satisfaction, level of innovativeness, etc.)
• Managerial Presentation and Approval: High-potential ideas are presented to board of directors, and, for approved ideas, a project is designed to launch them. 
• Application and Monitoring: Approved projects are launched and regularly monitored by our Project Management Office. 
• Recognition of Success: Our co-workers with important innovative contributions are pronounced and awarded as “Innovation Leaders”. 

Thanks to this systematic structure, we not only encourage individual creativity but also ensure innovative ideas transform into corporate value generation. 

Inclusive and Open Innovation Culture

At Golden Gateway Holding, innovation is not a process reserved to a specific group, rather a process managed under responsibility of all our co-workers. With open innovation approach, knowledge and experience of individuals at every level are made an integral part of our idea development processes. Thus, we both excel our internal processes, driving by the common mind, and offer more innovative solutions to our customers and industries.

For us, every idea is a potential, every contribution is a step for building the better.

In our future vision, innovation is not only a goal but also a continuous journey we pursue together with all our personnel.
