Innovation drives business success. No matter where your business is on its journey, there is always room for improvement through innovation.
Innovation is not limited to startups and huge multinationals. Clayton Christensen, one of the world’s most celebrated innovative thinkers, says that “Innovation can occur to products, processes or services. It can be incremental or radical, and it can occur at various levels of an organisation, from management groups and departments to project teams and even individuals”. There is no doubt that innovation can add value to every area of your business – it can even be necessary for your survival.
