What does collaboration at Eppendorf mean to you?

To me, collaboration at Eppendorf primarily means working together as an interdisciplinary team, with flat hierarchies and beyond company borders. It means focusing on developing solutions for problems and challenges together. Our agile methodology gives me the space I need to do that. And in the end, we can only succeed by working together as a team: Eppendorf has a lot of individual specialized expertise that have to be combined so that we can work expediently. Everyone gets direct feedback and can say what they think and mean, and I greatly value this open way of treating each other. I notice how this agility in how we work together considerably accelerates and simplifies our work.

Primarily, I take this to mean promoting innovation and improving existing processes and the tools we use. As a part of Eppendorf, you can quickly surround yourself with a team that can test and pursue specific ideas. And collaboration is extremely important, it allows us to shed light on ideas from various perspectives, and to drive ideas in several directions. When it comes to new ideas, connecting resources intelligently is key. That’s what characterizes “Collaborate on new ideas.” for me.
