Defining an Innovation Strategy
by Bernard Katz
| 
| | The capability of a company to innovate is directly linked to that company’s sustainability. Through innovation a company can gain a true competitive advantage by adapting to changes in the business environment more effectively and efficiently than their competition. These changes include applying new technologies, entering new markets, forging new partnerships and adapting to new legislation.
Most recently, the concept of an innovation process to formalise Innovation Management in a company has gained popularity. The formalisation of an innovation processes aims to consistently deliver successful innovations as opposed to the hit and miss successes of innovation in the past.

Gary Hamel once stated that “there is no sausage crank for innovation, but it’s possible to increase the odds of a ‘eureka!’ moment by assembling the right ingredients.” These ingredients can be defined as those fundamental principles on which most successful innovations are built. We compiled a list with some of these innovation principles Indutech has collected over the years.
