Accelerating Innovation

“Good, cheap, fast – pick 2!” That used to be the rule of thumb for new product or service innovation. However, it’s been clear for some time that “cheap” and “fast” are aspects of good. No matter how cool the technology is, it won’t create value for your customers and you, while it’s still in the lab.
Learning to do the right things well is key to achieving breakthrough time to market. There are a huge number of well worn techniques for accelerating innovation so why is it that so many companies continue to struggle? The key is that one size does not fit all. The systems you use must match the project you’re doing, your resources and your culture.

We specialize in working with clients to design and implement a customized offering delivery process. The right tools, the right focus, the right mix of internal and external assets combine to get you to market faster and at the right cost.

It talks about methods of operationalizing and making self-sustaining centers for engaging the start-up communities. While it is a little India-centric the analysis is thought provoking where ever you are.  https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/in/Documents/strategy/in-sc-open-innovation-pov-noexp.pdf
