Is Your Organization Ready to Innovate Faster?
The ability for a consumer packaged goods (CPG) company to bring successful new products to market is the lifeblood of the CPG industry. Absent a continuous supply of innovative new products, a company's portfolio will age and go stale - with a corresponding negative effect on sales and profits.
The need for quicker, more efficient innovation has never been greater for CPG companies. But is your organization ready to innovate faster?
