Strategic innovation can be defined as:
The framework of interdependent content, process and context dimensions that will allow the application of creativity and innovation to strategic management in order to enable strategic differentiation and competitive advantage. This is done by challenging conventional logic and redefining the company’s business model, redrawing market boundaries, creating new markets and value improvements for customers and the company itself.
The Strategic Innovation framework weaves together seven characteristics to produce a portfolio of outcomes that can help drive growth. The dimensions include:
- A Managed Innovation Process
- Strategic Alignment
- Industry Foresight
- Consumer - Customer Insight
- Core Technologies
- Organizational Readiness
- Disciplined Implementation
Strategic innovation leads to either new business, new markets (either by creating new ones or reshaping existing ones) and increased value for both the customer and the company or any combination of these three. The Business world is exponentially dynamic and the challenges of competition are increasing at a faster rate than the growth rate of the technology driven business. More and more companies are gradually operating in different countries and are dependant on tecnology driven business processes in one form or other.
