Why engage an innovation coach?We believe that innovation can be coached to improve the success rate of new innovations, that is, bring the right idea to the right market at a profit. The first step is to complete our brief 12-question assessment that identifies strengths to leverage and weak spots to enhance. Are you searching for new ideas instead of recycling the same initiatives? Do you have lots of ideas but struggle bringing products to market? Is your R&D function isolated or disconnected from emerging markets? Does middle management block new products due to concerns about risk or cannibalization?
We can help! We’ll work together to uncover resources, explore relevant
best practices and plan a realistic path toward innovation
excellence.
