Organizations innovate in order to differentiate in this hyper-competitive business environment. So, what is innovation? It seems that the word has created much confusion in a world of hype.

What would a model for managing innovation look like? What are differences between incremental improvements and radical innovations? These questions open up a number of discussions that can assist organizations in driving successful innovation programs.

Is your innovation portfolio balanced? Have you even considered looking at innovations that occur in unrelated industries to your own? Will these innovations disrupt your business one day?
