How can an Innovation Strategy help your organisation grow?

Innovation Strategy

Our experience in designing and running strategic innovation projects for organisations has proven that innovation strategy development is a collaborative process involving the senior leadership team.

In our recent Innovation Research Study, we identified the biggest innovation challenge and priority for organisations as creating value from their innovation efforts.

A critical question for organisations is where should you strategically allocate your innovation efforts?

Achieving the right balance across all three types of innovations is essential for long term sustainability.

  1. Incremental Innovation - improving existing products/services

  2. Adjacent Innovation - expanding existing products, services and expertise into new spaces

  3. Transformation Innovation - entirely new products, services and business models

Developing the Innovation Vision

The innovation vision is a concise statement which defines what the innovation will achieve for the organisation. It is realistic and easy to understand and remember.

This phase:

  • Understands the innovation opportunities, capability, culture and the role of innovation for the organisation.

  • Benchmarks the organisation's innovation capability to identify the strongest and weakest areas, and options for developing innovation capability that delivers results.

  • Defines innovation for the organisation.

  • Develops the vision for innovation.

  • Discover and select the right opportunities to innovate.

  • Run sustainable innovation campaigns.

  • Engage staff and partners in innovation projects.

  • Demonstrate the innovation ROI on funding.

  • Reduce the time to develop a tangible innovation project from a good idea.

  • Identify and overcome critical challenges.
