In business, you are only as good as your next idea. But now, with everyone playing the same game under the same constraints and with the same tools and resources at their disposal, the challenge of staying ahead of the curve has become much harder.
The solution to this challenge – predictably – lies in innovation. But in today’s business landscape with tighter budgets, more complex supply chains, slow growth, pandemic aftershocks and technology that transforms in the blink of an eye, the innovation game itself is also getting tougher.
Business now stands at a pivotal moment not covered by the traditional rulebook of innovation. We therefore need to get creative in terms of how we innovate.
This edition of Think:Act lays out how to manage the different constraints, which levers to pull and how to work with rapidly changing technology.
