The “War Room” – When Innovation Intersects Strategy

Slashing innovation and R&D programs during the downturn may leave organizations and the leadership responsible for making decisions to drive performance at a competitive disadvantage and poorly positioned to capitalize upon opportunities as good times return. That's the key message of a new report from the world's leading innovation website, which incorporates advice from some of the world’s leading innovation experts. The report provides a valuable set of best practices and strategies that companies can use to help maintain their innovation initiatives during the current global economic downturn. As part of this study, a collection of innovation experts and practitioners were contacted to learn more about the strategies they recommend for maintaining innovation during challenging economic times. Respondents include Damian D. “Skipper” Pitts, business strategist with The Bison Group consulting firm in Philadelphia, PA and some of the best and brightest innovation authors, bloggers, consultants, and practitioners. Pitts was asked to take part in the study demonstrating his firm’s philosophy for intersecting innovation with military and battlefield strategy. This valuable article is available for free by downloading the attachment. A copy of the innovation report is available by sending an email to: Solutions@thebisongroup.com.
