Getting Unstuck
How and why innovation teams get
stuck and proven ways to break them free.
Maddock
Douglas wants to help. We are honored to announce our sponsorship and presence
at the 14th Annual Front End of
Innovation (FEI) conference
.
At MaddockDouglas, we question how a sophisticated organization can be so committed to a
life-or-death mission'innovation'but still not achieve it. This was the
innovation paradox we wrote about in our book 'Brand New.'
Sadly,
years later, research shows that the paradox is more pronounced today than
ever. Companies are still getting stuck despite 84 percent of CEOs saying
innovation is critical to their strategy (a 20 percent jump since we wrote the
book). The good news is that the pattern of where and how innovation teams get
stuck is predictable. Better yet, there are proven and reliable ways to get
your team unstuck, accelerating innovation success in your company.

Maddock
Douglas is an innovation consultancy with 25 years of experience taking ideas
from mind to market. Over that time, we have seen the innovation practice
change and mature, and we have evolved with it. We have identified four key
factors that currently hamper innovation efforts.
1.
The
ability to better justify the investment in innovation
2.
The
ability to innovate faster
3.
The
ability to effectively prioritize innovation efforts
4.
The
ability to get the ideas from mind to market
Mike Maddock will be speaking
on these topics and more. You will also have the opportunity to swing by our
booth to chat with our innovation consultants, receive personally signed
copies of our books and have some fun.
