for
each

we
look
at
a
raBo

innovaBon
impact
to
the
resources
being

Each
algorithm
is
based
on:
InnovaBon
Output
InnovaBon

CapabiliBes

Together this provides what we believe to be the most accurate assessment of current innovation impact

Ten
years
ago,
the
capabiliBes
that
made
a
difference
in
innovaBon
were
clearly
idenBfiable
and
a
focus
for
all
The
tradi*onal
areas
for
a0en*on
have
been:
1. Clear
strategic
focus
on
building
and
exploiBng
core
competences
2. Using
mulB-‐funcBonal
teams
to
drive
innovaBon
across
the
organisaBon
3. AdopBng
stage-‐gate
processes
to
manage
new
product
development
4. Engaging
the
voice
of
the
customer
and
new
sources
of
consumer
insight
These are now hygiene factors – everyone uses similar approaches so they make no real difference
6. WWW.INNOVATIONLEADERS.ORG
In
recent
years,
InnovaBon
Leaders
have
variously
been
developing
new
capabiliBes
to
shi
performance
up
a
gear
Recent
areas
of
focus
include:
• Open
InnovaBon
especially
around
external
sourcing
of
innovaBon
• Strategic
collaboraBon
between
companies
across
sector
boundaries
• Engaging
customers
in
the
heart
of
the
innovaBon
process
• Using
longer
term
foresight
to
be]er
inform
on
emerging
opportuniBes
These will also become commodities so organisations are looking at the new leaders for inspiration
