Innovation - BCG - insights

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Innovation Institute was established in 2005 to conduct research into the Innovation-to-Cash (ITC) process: from invention to realization to commercialization. The Institute works with companies, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and other partners to generate a better understanding of and new solutions for the most pressing innovation challenges companies face today.

Idea followed by Execution

Energy and persistence only give results
