The six innovation deficits

Is innovation actually working in your company?

For most organisations, the honest answer is: not really. Programmes generate activity but few products. The cause is rarely ambition or budget. It’s a missing architecture.

  1. 01Are your leaders equipped to drive innovation?
  2. 02Is your organisation designed for innovation, or against it?
  3. 03Are your innovation capabilities a working system, or fragments?
  4. 04Is your innovation connected to real market signal?
  5. 05Do you have the talent, and the culture, to innovate?
  6. 06Can you turn validated concepts into real products, fast enough?
