Innovative Strength for Your Future
We see ourselves as a driver of innovation within our market environment. To that end, we develop software and insurance solutions, create risk management concepts, and actively participate in industry initiatives.
Our goal is to develop pioneering solutions that provide companies with tangible added value in the face of emerging risks and dynamic markets. Through holistic innovation management, we continuously explore new challenges and design forward-looking products, services, and tools. We take on our roles—whether as publishers of a series on innovation or as co-founders of an industry initiative—with passionate commitment.
“For example, with generative AI, we support various departments in increasing efficiency through process automation. We have developed our own AI assistant to make everyday tasks easier for our employees and also use AI in our internal knowledge management.”
Innovation in Focus: How Funk Shapes the Future
At Funk, innovation management is defined by the interaction of business development, an engaged innovation network, and strategic project management. All employees are encouraged to actively participate in innovation, while our marketing and sales teams contribute the customer perspective at every stage. Through early customer feedback and systematic monitoring of market and technology trends, we purposefully develop innovative solutions.
Our agile approach enables short decision-making paths and flexible adjustments. With clearly documented methods and a balanced project portfolio, we ensure the long-term success of our innovations. To support this, we use, among other tools, an internal AI assistant and an AI-based knowledge platform that provide efficient and intelligent cloud-based knowledge management.
