Successful Innovation = (R&D) + Business R&D + Execution

Because innovation is such a young, emerging profession, some misconceptions persist that, unfortunately, prevent leaders from investing in innovation the right way. Avoid costly mistakes with the Leadership Awareness Program by better understanding innovation.

Misconception Reality
Innovation = new technologies and R&D Technology may or may not play a role in a particular innovation
Innovation = find the perfect idea Good ideas are easy
Innovation = build products (and services) customers love Products, services, and value propositions customers care about are a pillar of innovation, yet insufficient on their own
Innovation = creative genius that can’t be learned Innovation is not black magic that depends on creative genius
Innovation = business and strategy as usual Most organizations have done traditional R&D for decades. Business R&D is needed

 

Understand world-class Innovation Portfolio Management

Research shows that while 84% of executives think innovation is key to their growth strategy only 6% of those executives are satisfied with their organisation’s innovation performance. Even great companies struggle to systematically create new growth initiatives. Expand your leadership team’s growth capability by showing leaders how they could strategically guide, diversify, measure, and act upon a portfolio of new business ideas.
