On November 1, 2018, Nikolaus Mittheisz took over the position of Managing Director in Vienna at kickworkx GmbH and is now managing the company together with Michael Siegmund.
The proven expert for digitization and innovation builds on more than 18 years of experience in the financial sector and in management consulting. Among other things, Nikolaus Mittheisz held various management positions and most recently worked as an innovation manager in the Raiffeisen sector. In addition, he is a consultant & trainer for organizational and personnel development and lecturer for strategy, organizational and personnel development at various institutions.
„The greatest innovative strength of the future comes from within the company itself and is to be found in the employees and their ideas. We see intrapreneurship as a bottom-up approach that revolves around people in order to foster talent, develop the corporate culture and thus achieve growth. I am very much looking forward to the new task and the associated challenge and I am convinced that we will continue the kickworkx success story with our intrapreneurship as-a-service approach and that we can support numerous companies in identifying their intrapreneurs and developing good ideas“, says Nikolaus Mittheisz about his appointment and intention. The expansion of the management results from the increased project volume at kickworkx, as the need for innovation in medium-sized companies and corporations is increasing.
Companies operate in complex markets and the digital transformation and the associated competitive pressure are forcing organizations to open up new growth opportunities. The market demands innovations faster and faster, but these require creative ideas. This requires appropriate framework conditions in companies and an environment that promotes innovation. kickworkx starts exactly at this point and promotes innovation potential from the middle of the company. Because beyond the usual ways of thinking and proceeding, this lies above all with our own employees. With the proven intrapreneurship-as-a-service, kickworkx creates the framework for innovation, has the necessary tools, networks and experts to successfully support innovation drivers in companies.
„Innovation is not a habit, it is a mentality! kickworkx specifically supports employees in realizing their ideas that have been dormant in them for a long time or ideas that have yet to be born. We promote intrapreneurship, i.e. the startup mentality in established companies. With Nikolaus Mittheisz we have gained an experienced innovation expert for kickworkx, in whose knowledge we trust and from whose experience we will undoubtedly benefit. I look forward to working with him and wish him every success in his new role“, says Michael Siegmund, founder and managing director of kickworkx.
At the same time as Nikolaus Mittheisz’s new entry, the new kickworkx website will go into operation at www.kickworkx.com.
