Many people think Innovation begins with ideas, in reality the sustainable innovation process starts way before ideas.
Ideation, is an integral part of innovation, many people have great ideas, ideas are easy, transforming ideas into something that makes a bold, long
lasting impact can be a challenge. Questions + Ideas = Innovation. What if? What next? How? Is this possible? Questions fuel ideas. Creative ideas
drive innovation. Innovation drives invention, new experiences, products, services, processes and systems that create value.

Innovation is not new, it has been around since the invention of the wheel. Thomas Edison was a great innovator as well as a great inventor. Still, after all this time, most companies cannot make Innovation work as they intended, it is the same for large enterprises and small businesses. Most organizations do not understand what it takes to achieve Sustainable Innovation success. Innovation often takes too long and the innovation process is not effective or efficient. Often Innovation lacks focus and causes wasted resources. Innovation results often fail to provide the growth and profit needed or expected. Often good ideas do not make it to the innovation process. Innovation pipelines are often filled with products that have no viable future. Often innovation lacks discipline and there is no effective innovation system in place. Often organizations are not “Innovation Friendly” and not “Innovation Responsive”. Innovation leadership is often ineffective, innovation is often lacking direction. Many leaders do not thoroughly understand innovation and all it’s benefits. Often leadership fails to provide adequate funding to make innovation successful. Often critical capabilities needed for effective Innovation are lacking or missing. Often leaders choose easier, less effective growth strategies to expand their business. Often the results of innovation are not communicated, launched and scaled properly resulting in lost opportunities and growth. Often products are not scaled effectively. The pricing for innovations is often not correct resulting in lost growth and profit. Many different types of thinking are required to make an effective innovation solution, sustainable Innovation requires discipline, order, and development to be successful “Managed Creativity”. To succeed at Sustainable Innovation organizations need to do many things correctly.

There is always a better way to do things, innovation is about figuring out how best to do them. Successful sustainable Innovation requires research, collaboration, sharing of ideas, deep understanding of clients’ future needs and decisive action. Innovation requires exploration and exploitation and realization to succeed. Logic and knowledge need to be set aside when searching for innovation, imagination is all encompassing and stimulates ideas giving birth to innovation. Innovation is often the result of debate, argument and conflict. Questions fuel ideas that result in effective innovation. Progress cannot be stopped, but you can manage it with innovation. Those that initiate change are in the best position to define it and reap the benefits. Innovation is a powerful force that distinguishes the disruptors from the disrupted.

In the last 13 years with the exception of technology there has been very little earnings growth. Why? Lack of Innovation, technology companies are innovation powerhouses that continuously innovate. We help many technology clients push the boundaries of customer expectations and exceptional growth. All businesses and organizations need innovation to improve, grow and evolve.

Innovation is critical in the modern economy.
With the ever-changing business landscape, rapid changes in customer behavior, new worthy competition and fast pace of business, Innovation is necessary for sustainable value creation. Even the most successful organizations have many things that can be improved; to stay relevant, maintain market position and grow, businesses need to continuously improve and innovate.

Innovation is essential, the vast majority of company senior leaders say that their business models will soon be outdated and innovation is one of their top priorities. Competition, change and innovation are causing product and business model life cycles to become shorter, next generation innovation solutions are needed to compete effectively. The ever-changing new world economic order and many new worthy competitors make innovation a challenge, even the best innovators need to continuously improve their capabilities and develop new innovations much faster and more efficiently. More effective and agile research and development processes are required to sustain pipelines for quicker release. Innovation is also a great opportunity for those organizations that are ready, willing and able to create and shape their own future. Those organizations that are future ready, have the entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a winning attitude and forward thinking have the potential to disrupt markets to become the new leaders.

Innovation is required for all businesses, all sizes of organizations in all industries need innovation to evolve and grow. Disruptive competitors put pressure on organizations of all sizes to adapt and accelerate the pace of change. Companies need to learn to evolve and grow in a fast paced innovating environment.

Entrepreneurial Start-ups begin as extremely innovative ventures that often lose their innovative edge and competitiveness during the scaling up process. Businesses with stagnant top line or bottom line growth need innovation to accelerate growth and profit. Companies with many competitors need innovation to accelerate and breakout of the pack.

For large businesses, Innovation is always high on the CEO’s agenda, leaders need to efficiently convert ideas into sustainable profitable growth to create value for shareholders. Even the largest organizations need to stay ahead of the innovation curve to compete so they do not become irrelevant and be replaced by an “Innovative Disruptor”. Tesla, Apple, Alphabet and Amazon may be the innovation leaders today but things change quickly. Do you remember the previous innovation leaders?

Many large organizations experience challenges to Strategic Innovation, often, organization and enterprise processes and systems prevent R&D and L&D departments from truly innovating, many innovation possibilities are slow to be realized. Many organizations do not promote idea development. Ideas are often not expressed, heard or developed because of bureaucracy, business units and divisions (Silos). Organizations that do not innovate become irrelevant and always under-perform. Organizations often attempt to imitate their competitors, always trying to catch-up, competing for the same customers to stay relevant. Innovation helps organizations identify new opportunities and markets that are being under served, and new products for a new customer base or business venture.

Often companies run out of new ideas or they lack confidence in their latest offerings or they feel their innovation team has not made any measurable impact on their bottom line or they feel their Innovation process is not functioning as they intended. Sustainable value creation through Innovation requires sustainable innovation, Strategic Innovation to fill the pipeline with winning products, services and opportunities. Innovation requires discipline, The Innovation process must be efficient, measurable, repeatable and effective, most importantly it needs to produce sustainable value for the organization and create value for customers in a radically different way. An effective system of innovation management is required to manage the pipeline and schedule the release of new products and services. Innovation pipeline and portfolio management is essential to focus the innovation efforts to best allocate internal resources. Many analyses are needed to reveal value creation streams. Many different types of thinking are required to make an effective innovation solution. Innovation requires discipline, development and order. Analytical Expertise, Cross Functional Talent and Iterations are needed successful Innovation outcomes.

In this increasingly complex and rapidly changing environment, Innovation is the go-to solution for exceptional growth and Strategic Competitive Advantage for many businesses and organizations of all sizes.

Leadership is the foundational driver of business success, today’s highly competitive, increasingly challenging business landscape requires Innovative Leadership to stay ahead.
