“We want to bring innovation that is truly disruptive in the marketplace. So, we want to do less things and do it more disruptively.” The consumer packaged goods market experiences some of the fiercest competition in any industry and marketplace, without question. But even if the good or service you sell is far from the grocery shelves, there is much to be gleaned from the success of the biggest movers and shakers in business – and their approach to innovating. This recent Food Business News article on Kraft Heinz Co.’s innovation strategy sheds some interesting light on the disruptive innovation its CEO (quoted above) has sought out in recent years to stay in line or above the competition, in both visible and invisible to consumers.

I appreciate how Kraft Heinz is adopting a less-is-more approach — this can be very effective. What’s your take? Comment below to share! #innovation #movewithpurpose #intentionalinnovation
