HP invent centers

Innovation is seen today as an essential ingredient to establish and maintain business advantage.

Innovative thinking can drive and generate new ideas to turn them into commercial products and services, create new organizational efficiencies to compete more effectively or provide new insights on how to provide a better quality of service to customers. Whatever the trigger may be, the ingredient of innovation is identified as a top priority by both large and small enterprises alike. It is listed among corporate values indicating that employees are also being challenged to become more innovative.

Although the importance of innovation is well recognized, knowing how to stimulate, motivate and manage innovative thinking within an organization can be difficult. Very few organizations have performance metrics for innovation or management processes to support a formal innovation process (beyond the domain of Research and Development). Neither do many organizations have a business review process to explicitly focus on innovation performance.
