innovation
Harper’s Bazaar cover, 1965
Introduction
Innovation has always been a pillar of
sustainable growth.
However, innovation cycles tend to get
shorter and shorter.
Innovation is a real imperative and a critical
survival challenge for any company that
wants to:
• create and foster a culture of
disruption
• meet new consumer purchase habits,
especially those of Millenials and
Generation Z
• reinvent and deliver new experiences
and services to customers
• Strengthen growth and profitability
