Although it is widely accepted by CEOs and senior

business leaders that innovation is the foundation of

long-term, profitable revenue growth; why are

innovation processes some of the slowest-

evolving, least-improved business processes in the

corporate world today?

And given the technology revolution we live in, why do

so many companies still manage innovation programs,

plans, and portfolios on an Excel spreadsheet?

We developed our Accolade® solution in 2000 when we saw so many companies with a gap between their strategic growth ambitions and the execution activities required to move them there.

Many systems and processes existed within each business function, but these were in siloes—with no cross-functional processes to ensure that valuable resources were focusedon the growth opportunities withthe greatest payoff for the firm.

• Too often, strategies defined but not translated into action • Quickly out-of-date due to constant market changes• Stuck in the three-ring binder on the shelf.

• 95% of workforce doesn’t understand the strategy• AOP is a disconnected, spreadsheet exercise• Each function has its own execution system

Companies that effectively manage these decision-making practices generate more innovative products, promotions, initiatives, and solutions—which creates sustainable, profitable revenue growth.
