BMG's Innovation Course Targets Companies Focused on Going Beyond Better – to Being Different

Almost every corporation on the planet is on a quest to outperform its rivals in two key business activities – improve the performance of current business, and create the future for the business. The trouble with this is that few organizations do this well – they are either good at continuous improvement or good at innovation, but not good at both in a strategic, tactical and deliberate way.

Today, the era of competitive advantage by continuously perfecting products and processes is is clearly over; instead it is expected that top organizations can do this “in their sleep.”
The new frontier of performance is figuring out how to make breakthrough innovations on both ends of the scale: low-end disruptions, as well as high-end advancements at higher prices. Figuring out how this can be done on a continuous and a predictable basis is fast becoming the new necessity for business success.

Breakthrough Management Group began to see the market struggling with this issue and as such has launched an innovation practice in 2006 to help its clients reach beyond the “better” bucket. With the help of innovation expert and Chief Innovation Officer Philip Samuel, BMG is now bringing the same rigor and structure they offer through Lean Six Sigma and applying it to innovation.
“Research has shown that developing a process for driving and sustaining innovation is one of the toughest challenges senior executives face today,” said Samuel. “By bringing the process-driven and data-driven approaches afforded by Six Sigma to the world of Innovation, we are now able to help companies overcome those challenges and develop strong, measurable innovation programs.”

BMG is proud to be launching its successful innovation practice into Europe with the launch of its first European Innovation Tools for Change Agents course beginning January 21.

If you are looking to increase your innovative potential and your organisation’s capabilities in becoming more innovative, you won’t want to miss this class.
