Growth is the lifeblood of business. And innovation is growth’s holy grail.
The Harvard Business Review analyzed Fortune’s fastest-growing companies and found that innovation was by far their biggest value driver, with the creation of new categories generating a 560% market capitalization increase for each dollar of revenue growth shown.
This perfect storm of high development cost and lower likelihood of generating a return means that very few companies pursue an innovative growth strategy, even when data indicates that they should.
With such strong potential, you’d expect every company to invest in innovation, yet doing so carries significant risks:
- Innovation is incredibly difficult to systematize
- Innovation generally requires higher costs
- Innovation carries higher failure rates
What if a more certain path to successful innovation existed?
