In Pursuit of Innovation, 2 Things Make a Difference: Grit and Guts

innovation and creativity

There is a slightly misleading perception that the more a company makes extensive use of ICT technologies, the more it displays high value creation and innovation intensity. As a matter of fact, investments in ICT are not indicative of innovation.

Around 60% of businesses develop new products and services while less than 50% adopt new processes, and less than 20% of them develop their organization structures and commercial strategies.

To qualify as innovative, a company should demonstrate resourcefulness on at least seven levels out of eighteen criteria.

1– Buying experience2– Client service3– Product features
4– Technologies used 5– Marketing strategy6– Product design
7– Business model 8– Production processes 9– Commercial partnerships
10– Channels of distribution 11– Product performance12– Number of new products launched

Top Priorities in Innovative Thinking

When we take on a new project, these matters are on top of our mind:

Innovation Consulting 1
  • What is the risk profile that shareholders are looking for?
  • What are the existing business models and what are they overlooking?
  • How will the company create, deliver and capture value?
  • Is there a clear path to sustain long-term growth, and are there any advantages that competitors can’t copy?
  • Can we convince clients to pay price premiums? What might be the obstacles to achieving that?
  • How efficient would the go-to-market strategy and messaging be?
  • How do we engage with buyers at every step of the buying journey?

How To Innovate With Certainty

An international award, media appearances, and proofs back our commitment to deliver expected results, on-time.

We created our own strong brand to prove our set of skills. If a business consultant cannot clearly develop its own strong company; would it do a better job in handling other peoples’ businesses?
