Use Technology Platforms to Drive Strategy, Innovation & Business Growth
Today’s innovation leaders recognize the need to explore and invest in emerging technology. Strategic innovators explore technology trends and define the tech platforms that will drive innovation and growth into the future.
InnovationPoint provides unique research, tools and approaches to help you map your current technologies, gain insight into emerging technology trends, and define the technology platforms and platform strategies to help transform your markets and industries.
The Technology Innovation Imperative
For most companies, the question isn’t whether to invest in technology, but rather how to consistently create new revenue streams through product, service, and business model innovation. While exploring and experimenting with new “disruptive technology” is important, long-term innovation comes from applying existing technical capabilities along with new technology investments to innovation efforts.
