These companies not only lead in innovation but also excel in delivering shareholder value, significantly outperforming their peers. However, there's a paradox—despite the abundance of innovative solutions and companies, global innovativeness scores average just 45.2 out of 100. The journey toward greater innovation is filled with challenges.

Relatively few organizations can demonstrate that they have a rigorous process for delivering sustainable innovation-driven growth. Yet most corporate mission statements and annual reports are littered with the word “innovation.” Research reveals that setting high but achievable aspirations and supporting them with clear resource allocation choices, distinguish committed innovators from companies at earlier stages of the innovation journey. #strategy #innovation #scale #growth
