Driving innovation in a fragmented market

In today's fast-paced market, innovation is crucial not just for imagining and creating new products but for enhancing communication, operational processes, and go-to-market strategies. According to Nielsen IQ, companies that boosted innovation sales in 2020 were 1.8 times more likely to grow overall sales. 

Yet, traditional innovation research methods can be slow and one-sided, missing critical consumer inputs. They are often more about screening ideas rather than bringing the consumer voice into the innovation process.
