What new growth opportunities should be explored by innovative techniques? What’s your vision?

How does your firm intend to position itself or distinguish itself from its competitors, and how can you use innovation to support those goals?

Do you have a vision for what you want your organization to look like?

Do you know what it’s going to take to achieve that vision?

Getting there will no doubt require that you navigate complex global economic shifts, market nuances, and new technologies.

The most important factor sustaining innovation is an operating model that considers innovation as “business as usual (BAU).

BAU is all the norms inside your company that govern how your company operates.

Innovation is a strategic choice rather than an act of fate.

you study success.
