the Pipeline - True innovators

things to try. Each time a project
fails, the team takes the lessons it
learned and applies those lessons
to future ideas.

11. 3. The Company Budgets
Enough for Product
Development - Teams burn
through a lot of ideas that
generate no revenue, but
cost a boatload to research
and attempt to develop.
There has to be enough
cash set aside to use until a
new innovation takes off
and covers those
development costs.

13. IV. INSIGHTS
Innovation increases your chances to react to changes and
discover new opportunities. It can also help foster competitive
advantage as it allows you to build better products and services for
your customers.
Innovation inherently involves uncertainty, creativity and a special
mindset that not all people have or are willing to embrace. People
who adapt positively to adversity are more prone to innovative
behaviors.
