Innovation is the life-blood of any organization, and yet is something many companies find difficult to sustain. In part, this is due to external factors such as advancing industry and technology maturity, and pressures created by the current economic downturn. But it is also a result of the complexity of the innovation process – typically driven by the R&D community, but requiring a balanced partnership with sales and marketing; strongly influenced by organizational culture; and involving difficult choices on where, how, and when to invest.
