Supporting Innovation

INNOVATION: any valuable new development.

With the foundation of a company, innovation takes on a different form, it is constantly at risk of disappearing and therefore efforts should be carried out to keep it alive.

Organisational culture is fundamental in launching an innovation process.A collaborative culture streamlines the exchange of information and it is fundamental in innovation processes. It is based on:

Participatory leadership styles. Teams equipped with good emotional skills. Horizontal organisations with a great degree of autonomy on all levels. Orientation to results rather than tasks. Habits of efficient cooperation.

THE PATH TO INNOVATION

Innovation processes must be aligned with a corporate strategy, one that is strongly based on excellent market knowledge and its trends. You need:

A good deployment strategy system. Cohesion with company values. Leadership from the vertex.

THE PATH TO INNOVATION

The company must have a good management base that will guarantee a level of efficiency and balance between challenges and available resources.
