Innovation
Capitalizing on new ideas requires an innovation strategy that is aligned with business priorities yet flexible enough to adapt to changing market conditions.
For companies of any size, investing in change can be risky without significant market understanding, iterative design cycles, and validation through user testing. This is why innovation management is so valuable. By learning through rapid prototyping of an innovation system, you can make strategic decisions about how to drive new technologies and ideas to market at the most opportune time.
Avoiding the pitfalls of innovation calls for an approach that is strategy-led, biased toward action, and agile. These characteristics are true whether you’re talking about innovation in consumer products or in a business-to-business domain—or innovating at the level of the product, service, or business model. When companies take a systems approach, they can pursue innovation in a way that reliably generates repeatable results.

Transformation
Business transformation is essential to adapt to ever-changing conditions—even for companies that are already dominating their markets. It’s a big challenge, but entrepreneurs pod, using integrated toolkits and resources, helps our clients navigate the storm.
Business model innovation is critical to business transformation. Many organizations share a common set of concerns: What type of business model innovation will help us achieve breakout performance? How do we avoid jeopardizing the core business? How do we build the capability to develop, rapidly test, and scale new models? Inspiring an organization to change is not a trivial undertaking, but given the current strategic environment, it’s critical.
Innovation remains perennially at the top of CEO agendas, yet many executives continue to be frustrated with the hit-or-miss pace and results of their transformation programs. The problem isn’t usually a lack of good ideas. Initiatives take too long, non-strategic projects get greenlighted at the expense of game changers, and dynamic ideas remain captive in employees’ heads.
What’s missing is a system of enablers that work together to support innovation. Our experience with industry leaders shows that when the right people, processes, and metrics come together, they can transform how innovation happens, galvanize employees’ creativity, and create long-term competitive advantage.
