4 Top Challenges in Executing Innovation Programs

Innovation is a critical driver of growth. To innovate effectively, it is crucial for any business to foster continuous idea generation. This ensures that a company consistently brings new and improved products and services to their customers while improving efficiencies and staying competitive. 

Everyone talks about it, but so many fail to execute. Today more than ever, organizations are compelled to pivot their business strategy and re-align their priorities to adapt to the new normal.

Challenge 01

Lack of Instant and Complete Visibility

It has been proven that transparency promotes a firm’s innovative effort and efficiency by allowing optimal resource allocation. That means you not only need to understand project performance, but you also need to be able to quickly zoom in on intricate details and effortlessly retrieve information in order to prioritize projects and assess risks. This enhanced level of visibility helps management “fail fast,” by eliminating information gaps and delivering more resources to innovations on a path to success.

 Are you currently:

  • Having a hard time prioritizing tasks based on risk and business impact? 
  • Managing multiple spreadsheets to keep track of initiatives?
  • Finding it hard to manage project updates and statuses? 
  • Unable to quickly review trends, milestones and project details?
