More big bets bolder innovation 15 03 17
The latest Innovation Leaders research shows that there is an increasingly number of high-growth companies that are prepared to take greater risk and make big bets. Rather than focus just on incremental growth, they are being bolder and are seeking to develop more radical innovation opportunities. Despite requiring significant investment and offering no guarantee of success this approach has been transformational for some. Where and why is this happening and what has changed that has made this approach more common? Ahead of a speech in Toronto next week, this presentation and the accompanying commentary (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/more-big-bets-bolder-innovation-tim-jones) explores the state of play, highlights the major trends and leaders and identifies the three key activities that are helping companies be bolder at innovation.
