Every company needs to innovate. While you are reading this, your competitors are probably working on new products or services that are designed to compete with and outperform your current products. Or a start-up venture that you’ve never heard of might be developing new technology that will completely disrupt your industry.
Technology is constantly changing, presenting new opportunities and raising the expectations of your customers. If you’re not actively innovating then you are falling behind. The need to innovate isn’t limited to companies that make and sell hard products. There is room for innovation in every company and every industry. “Product” refers to whatever your customers pay you for, and every product has potential for innovation.
If you aren’t constantly innovating then you should be constantly worried. There is no excuse for not innovating. If you do it right, your innovation program will not be expensive and time-consuming – and it will be successful. A well-implemented innovation program will be efficient, exciting and productive – and it can add a lot to your bottom line.
