As shareholders continue to demand year-over-year percentage-point growth, our largest public companies are facing diminishing returns on cost-saving and margin-enhancement initiatives. In this continuous struggle to satisfy shareholder demand, many companies are committing to consistently deliver meaningful growth from innovation— a promise few are prepared to deliver. Without a clear innovation strategy and roadmap, these companies, and those held accountable for their results, are doomed to fail.
Enter the Chief Innovation Officer, the fastest growing executive role in recent memory. While there are many new CIOs, there remains a great deal of ambiguity to the responsibilities of this position. This presentation introduces a four phase transformation journey that arms CIOs and CEOs with a scalable toolkit of structures, strategies, capabilities, and processes.

Shareholders continue to demand year-over-year growth, but it’s getting harder to move the top and bottom line.
Five years ago , globalization would have been the most power lever for growth and every business would have been talking about China-- and rightly so. However, these markets are no longer the gold rush they once were. Since 2010, as these markets were tapped, declining growth rates in these regions no longer makes them a reliable source of growth.http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG/countries/ZJ?display=graph
As the traditional means form driving bottom-line growth face diminishing returns, many organizations are turning to “innovation” to meet shareholder demands.But innovation is more than a term, and in large corporations delivering on the promise of “innovation” is not easy.In 2012, a review of quarterly and annual reports submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission sited the word “innovation” used over 33,528 times (Kwoh, 2013). Yet, when pairing this number to a 2012 Capgemini study, only 42% of companies claim to have an innovation strategy in place (Paddy Miller, 2012).
Notes:Go back to original data point….if we are going to spend more than other industries on R&D than we should be getting growth rates that reflect that investment Metric name…R&D spending as % of sales compared to aggregate revenue growth R&D effectiveness/efficiency ratio
In large organizations achieving this growth from innovation is even harder… for some the organizational barriers make innovation nearly impossible. Since 1980 we have seen a continual shift in innovation funding to smaller and smaller firms.
