What’s the Issue with Current Innovation?

As it currently stands, innovation is a space too low on intelligence, yet too high on process.

The result of this is:

  • Waste, in the form of human, financial and physical resources – using lots of resources to develop products that few want
  • And more worryingly – a failure rate of above 80% for most Consumer Goods innovation.

The Main Reason?

Blind Innovation.

This occurs due to a lack of intelligence in the product development cycle, meaning decisions are often made on subjective opinion, what worked in the past, or irrelevant data, leading to misfiring innovation and irrelevant products being created.

How Can Innovation Intelligence Change This?

Innovation Intelligence is here to transform the way we create new products, bringing light and clarity to innovation, in the form of consumer intelligence, leading to:

  • Decisions based on robust data
  • Reduced wastage
  • Increased product success

Ultimately, innovation Intelligence is here to transform Consumer Goods innovation, making the 80% failure rate we see today a thing of the past.
