Front End of Innovation
Innovation Leaders spend 3 to 4 times as much time and effort in the Front End than Innovation Followers
Innovation is a strategic imperative for many companies. The front end of innovation defines the difference
between leaders and followers: the more ideas, the stricter the selection of ideas, the more results.

Our View on Collaborative Ideation
It’s not about just ideas...
Elaborate concepts instead of raw ideas
Interaction between participants creates more elaborate concepts that take into account all available
knowledge, expertise and implementation issues.
