Why corporate innovation?

Corporate innovation is an approach that cultivates a culture of change, innovation, and transformation. Teams identify which market developments show the most potential for their business, validate ideas, and transform them into short and long-term strategies for improved operations and growth.

Developing products, services, and business models to meet market needs is imperative to maintain a competitive advantage. Having corporate innovation as a formal function ensures that organizations deliver the right solutions at the right time.

Where to Play: Identify opportunities for growth

Kickstart your corporate innovation strategy with opportunity identification with 200+ trends and technologies curated by our analysts, or import your own data instead. The first phase of innovation management, "Where to Play", is about understanding which drivers of change influence your business environment.
