Innovation will be the single most important factor in determining America's success for the 21st century.
~ Council on Global Competitiveness

 

With business markets diminishing or even disappearing, business leaders want to know if their organization will be here 5 years from now. Through our research, the biggest single trend we have heard from business leaders is the growing acknowledgement of innovation as the centerpiece of corporate strategies and initiatives.

There has never been a time when innovation has had a greater importance for us. We are operating in a new economy today. This new economy is marked by unprecedented levels of global competition between individuals, businesses, and nations.

The Knowledge Economy, as we know it, is being eclipsed by something new. Success in this new economy will depend on our ability to become a leader in innovation. In March 2005, the Council on Global Competitiveness presented it this way, “the past 50 years we have optimized our organizations for efficiency and quality. But the next 50 years we must optimize ourselves for innovation.”

Organizations and even industries are finding themselves in situations that are so competitive they cannot optimize their way out of them. They have to innovate their way out of them. We know how to get better, but we don’t know how to get different. To succeed in the new economy, organizations will need to change from continuous improvement to disruptive innovation.

An idea is not innovation.To go from an idea to innovation requires a process to create a workable plan. That plan incorporates innovative thinking in the development of a strategic initiative formulated around your customer and your business processes guided by project management.
