CIFST Webinar: Real innovation - starting right, restarting right

Topic: Real innovation - starting right, restarting right

According to the 2020 Accenture Governing Innovation Study “Companies that govern innovation extensively delivered 2x revenue growth compared to those following a haphazard approach”. Additionally the 2018 PWC Global Innovation 1000 Study finds “that innovation excellence isn’t something that can be bought by simply spending more on R&D. Rather, it’s the result of painstaking attention to strategy, culture, senior executive involvement, deep customer insights, and disciplined execution across the innovation cycle.”

Sean Kondra and Chris Kay participate in a conversation on integrating innovation best practices into food CPG the right way. They will discuss topics such as defining innovation objectives and innovation strategy, securing executive buy-in, achieving alignment with business units, measuring results, and piloting with external technology companies. No more false starts and innovation platitudes, how to get into the "meat and potatoes" of food innovation.
