Business and Innovation Strategy

Business & Innovation Strategy helps you work on different types of innovations to keep your business future-proof.

It offers Business model lifecycle management, metered funding of business ideas and initiatives, and an evidence-based decision and action model on both exploration and exploitation portfolio levels.

It supports companies to constantly reinvent their businesses before becoming obsolete.

We improve your organizational capabilities
to boost economic impact using the Strategyzer Framework.

Process diagram for innovation management with two phases: EXPLORE and EXPLOIT. The EXPLORE phase filters many lightbulb-shaped business ideas into a funnel, leading to experimentation, while non-viable ideas are discarded into bins labeled 'PASS FOR NOW'. The EXPLOIT phase takes a successful idea represented by a lightbulb connected to a gear mechanism, indicating the development and scaling of the idea, as shown by the upward trending bar graph and euro currency symbols, reflecting financial investment and return.

Are your Executives ...

lacking an evidence-based decision approach?

constantly changing strategic direction?

not changing strategic direction, even when your financials or those of your competitors suggest they should?

Creating STRATEGIC AGILITY

The world is in constant change. More and more startups are displacing existing players and the big sharks are doing the rest. The "Fortune 1000 Firm Replacement Rate" shows that about 80% of all existing companies drop out of the top 1000 within 10 years.

2 examples that we encounter very often and could be strategically questioned and verified:

Companies continue to merely hold on to their existing business and just ignore opportunities for entirly new growth engines.
Companies continue to ignore digital sales concepts that offer massive scalability to enter new markets, or customer segments.

Make innovation an indispensable part of your strategic portfolio to give it the importance, time and budget it needs.

We help you create an evidence-based and measurable Strategic Portfolio to protect your company in times of disruption and make it even more successful.

Innovation Definition

What is Innovation?

Successful Innovation =
(R&D) + Business R&D + Execution

The Strategyzer Framework suggests:

"Because innovation is such a young, emerging profession, some misconceptions persist, that, unfortunately, prevent leaders from investing in innovation the right way. Avoid costly mistakes with Leadership Awareness Coaching by better understanding innovation."

Misconception

Reality

innovation =
new technologies and R&D

Technology may or may not play
a role in a particular innovation

innovation =
find the perfect idea

Good ideas are easy

innovation =
build products (and services)
customers love

Products, services, and value propositions
customers care about are a pillar of innovation,
yet insufficient on their own

innovation =
creative genius that can't be learned

Innovation is not black magic that depends on creative genius

innovation =
business and strategy as usual

Most organizations have done traditional R&D for decades. Business R&D is needed
