Centre for Innovation Acceptance und Transformation

The Centre for Innovation Acceptance and Transformation (ZENIT) provides impetus for innovation research that focuses on users, and for the participatory design of transformation. It is characterised by user-oriented analysis of innovations and technologies, stakeholder participation through participatory instruments, and the design of transformation processes that take opportunities and risks into account. The spokesperson for the Competence Centre is Prof. Dr. Katrin Allmendinger, and the deputy spokesperson is Prof. Dr. Patrick Müller.

Innovation acceptance

This thematic focus centres on the human assessment of innovation: how do users want to and how can they interact with the technologies of the future? New technologies and innovations of all kinds are analysed, from innovative transport solutions, such as air taxis, to applications of artificial intelligence.

Individual and organisational risk management

Innovation and transformation create enormous opportunities, but these are also accompanied by a wide range of risks. This key topic explores the management of opportunities and risks at both the individual and organisational levels. The focus is on risk identification, assessment and control in innovation and transformation processes.
