Supporting innovation - Improva Consulting

1. Supporting Innovation

2. INNOVATION: any valuable new development.
With the foundation of a company, innovation takes on a
different form, it is constantly at risk of disappearing and
therefore efforts should be carried out to keep it alive.

3. Organisational culture is fundamental in launching an innovation process.
A collaborative culture streamlines the exchange of information and it is fundamental in
innovation processes. It is based on:
 Participatory leadership styles.
 Teams equipped with good emotional skills.
 Horizontal organisations with a great degree of autonomy on all levels.
 Orientation to results rather than tasks.
 Habits of efficient cooperation.
THE PATH TO INNOVATION

4. Innovation processes must be aligned with a corporate strategy, one that is strongly
based on excellent market knowledge and its trends. You need:
 A good deployment strategy system.
 Cohesion with company values.
 Leadership from the vertex.
THE PATH TO INNOVATION
The company must have a good management base that will guarantee a level of
efficiency and balance between challenges and available resources.
