Innovation is of vital importance for the survival and grow of European Companies in the today global and competitive world. Year 2009 is declared as the year of European Innovation Initiative and it is obvious that European companies need to close the “innovation performance gap”.
Innovation is the process of identifying unmet needs and fulfilling them with new products, services and procedures. This effort leads to a new style of organization, with great competitive advantages.
Despite the obvious need for innovation, companies find it difficult to organize and manage this complicated process, which involves all company’s departments but also Customers, Suppliers and other Partners.
Efikton® Innovation Management is here to make it easy.
