Innovate to Thrive
Of the Fortune 500 companies that existed in 1955, only 12% remain in 2014, according to the American Enterprise Institute,
The other companies have either gone bankrupt, merged or still exist but have fallen from the Fortune 500 companies.
Innovation is the actualisation of potential. It is the process of using knowledge to add value to a product or service to expand into an existing market or to open up new markets.
Companies that fail to innovate often fail to grow.
Either, innovation is not on their radar or their competitors beat them to it.
Australian business is changing fast; innovation is now mainstream and no longer just for tech companies.
Developing an innovation strategy for your business is now crucial as you could be risking being left behind.
Consult with Edward to see how this can be avoided and how innovation can help your forge a unique growth path for your business.
