Since GABEK® applications involve the use of everyday knowledge and expert experience, the process is used with very different objectives. Conflicts were resolved by integrating the opinions of stakeholders, exploring opportunities for cooperation between companies, evaluating products and examining safety factors. Furthermore, GABEK® was used for market and acceptance research. Organizational and personnel development are just as much standard applications as CRM and evaluation projects. Mission statements were developed, projects on community, district and regional development were carried out. Innovation research, quality assurance, knowledge management and intercultural management were also among GABEK®’s preferred problems.
Among the approximately 600 projects in which GABEK has been used worldwide, there are many GABEK projects that have been carried out for large companies, schools, government offices, individual companies, research institutions. The objective was to: Innovation research (Daimler AG), Evaluation a major technical project (Vorarlberger Illwerke AG), Product comparison (Daimler AG), Organisational development (Senator for Education and Science, Bremen), Knowledge transfer (GIKO, Vorarlberg), Market research (BM for Transport, Innovation and Technology, Vienna), Conflict solution (Daimler AG), Regional development (BM for education, science and culture, Vienna), quality assurance of a clinic (TILAK, Innsbruck), evaluation of 23 institutes (University of Innsbruck), regional development (district community of Vinschgau), community development (local agency of Tyrol), etc.
