Strategic InnovationIn Pursuit of Innovation, 2 Things Make a Difference: Grit and GutsThere is a slightly misleading perception that the more a company makes extensive use of ICT technologies, the more it displays high value creation and innovation intensity. As a matter of fact, investments in ICT are not indicative of innovation.Around 60% of businesses develop new products and services while less than 50% adopt new processes, and less than 20% of them develop their organization structures and commercial strategies.To qualify as innovative, a company should demonstrate resourcefulness on at least six levels out of a more than a dozen criteria.
