fearless innovation designed online

The greater risk is not to innovateOver the past five years, the 10 most innovative companies grew revenue 33% faster than the 10 biggest spenders on R&D...and those most focused on a narrow set of strategically aligned innovation capabilities outperformed peers by 40% in EBITDA as a percentage of revenue1

The key is not How much, but HowApple, Google & 3M are perceived to be most innovative by far...yet spend far less on R&D, in absolute dollars and as a % of revenue1

fido fills a void31% of the Fortune 1000 cite the lack of systems or tools as a key barrier to enterprise innovation, and 60% report a lack of external collaboration2
