Intervention: adopt mechanisms to solve the diagnosed problems, some interventions of open innovation, co-creation, branding, ethnographic research, current customer, and employee satisfaction were proposed for each cycle of participation. Results: in the first cycle, eleven new products were launched using nanotechnology and sensory transversality; in the second, there was a sub-category of customers and humanized projects for customers, employees, and social circles; in the third, remodeling of workshops, creation of paid courses, school visits, supervised internship, and advanced support; and in the fourth, a model for recognizing employees was created. Conclusion: the promotion of the continued practice of innovation actions in small companies and contributions to Medicatriz permeated the four dimensions of innovation.
