Abstract
Innovation has become an obsession, one regularly deemed by business gurus as “the most important force in our economy,”[1] and leading business executives often proclaim it as a core business strategy. According to a recent McKinsey study, 84 percent of executives think that innovation is important to their growth strategy.[2] And though 56 percent of firms surveyed by KPMG reported that their overall innovation investment would increase from 2019 to 2020, only 43 percent of firms have well-defined processes for innovation in place.[3] And just 6 percent of executives are satisfied with their innovation performance.[4]
