The Innovation Challenge

Innovation is what drives your business – it fuels revenues, brand value and, ultimately, competitive advantage. Fully 50% of a company's revenue comes from products created and introduced in the last five years.¹ And in study after study, CEOs now cite innovation as a top priority. Yet the innovation process is wildly inefficient:

• 76% of R&D budgets are spent on products that either don't make it to market or fail after introduction²
• 75% of features in the products delivered aren't used by customers³
• 48% of executives are unsatisfied with their company's ratio of "hits" to "misses"⁴

Secrets of Successful Innovators

The most successful companies have mastered the innovation process and made it central to the way they do business. They've harnessed the power of ideation – synthesizing market insight from customers, competitors, partners and trends – and translated it into actionable plans. They've aligned the innovation process with corporate strategy, market needs and resources to hit critical windows of opportunity and outperform their competitors. And they've brought together disparate teams and silos of information, creating visibility and unifying all participants.
