TAKE THE ASSESSMENTThe Problem
IF YOU ANSWER 'YES' TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, WE CAN HELP YOU.
Are your revenues below expectations?
Does growth seem to be harder to achieve?
Are there few new product or process improvement underway?
Is staff morale tentative and uncertain?
Is your executive team resisting change?
Would you have trouble stating your strategy in 100 words?
PERHAPS YOU'VE MADE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO
STIR UP THE COMPANY.
PERHAPS THEY AREN'T WORKING.
Your people are rarely coming to you with new ideas. And if they do, those ideas seem to get lost. Your executive team agrees that innovation is important to the future of the company, but you have few results to show for it. And there just doesn't seem to be enough time to sort it out.
These are symptoms of a larger problem: the absence of a well-crafted, integrated innovation program that regularly generates the new, useful ideas that fuel new products for achieving growth or better processes that add value and lower costs.
WE WORK SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER, NOT JUST ACROSS THE DESK.
Yes, the business world is changing rapidly, which creates a challenge for anyone trying to grow a business. If you focus too much on the big picture, you run the risk of missing quarterly targets. If you focus on the here-and-now, you might just become irrelevant and bankrupt. And if you focus on your competitors, you will always be following, and perhaps in a direction you wouldn't choose yourself. What do you do?
We believe that the key is to focus inside. Get inside the driving forces for your executive team. Get inside your corporate culture. Get inside your plans and strategies. Get inside the hearts and mindset of your employees. Also, you must manage this new initiative as a change, by getting inside the people who will make it happen. Today, you must focus on getting inside innovation.
