Challenges

For most companies, innovation is the key to driving growth, value for shareholders, and competitive advantage in today’s global economy. But half of all companies are unhappy with the results of their innovation activities. How can the potential of innovation be realized?
Companies that are not effective innovators face a number of challenges:

  • How do we improve the financial returns from our current activities? How can our company build and sustain an innovative culture?
  • What does it mean to be an effective innovation leader?
  • How should we be measuring innovation?
  • How can we modernize our business model?
