About Innovation and Enterprise Agility

Today's successful enterprises are those that know how to foster an environment for innovation and tap creative, valuable outcomes. They are the enterprises that support activities that lead to new markets, products, services, and strategies; that understand that innovation is a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. They have learned to innovate reliably and regularly and to transform ideas into economic value.

Cutter Innovation and Enterprise Agility has been designed to help your enterprise focus on value creation so it can leverage technology for business success. It provides a rich and comprehensive set of diagnostic tools - including research by Cutter Fellows and Senior Consultants, our exclusive Innovation Mapping methodology for making innovating a reliable process, and Inquiry Privileges with the Innovation team. Cutter's focus on innovation by iteration and the interdependence of team members has repeatedly proven successful in helping knowledge-based workers achieve the kinds of results that catapult firms ahead of their competitors.

Cutter Innovation and Enterprise Agility helps you to assess the innovation potential of your individual team members and organization, to identify barriers to innovation, and to pinpoint ways to improve the capacity of your group to produce great new ideas on demand. Cutter's Innovation team gets at the root of difficulties a firm may be experiencing when it tries to innovate, such as an inability to respond to unanticipated outcomes or resistance to true collaboration.

Cutter's team equips CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, and senior IT management with the tools and processes they need to:

• Develop an "innovative frame of mind"
• Understand how serendipity and ambiguity can be conditions of fruitful work
• Create an enterprise that supports and encourages constant preparation, and help individuals learn to flourish in that culture
• Implement an iterative work process

Cutter Innovation challenges your organization to consider:

• What principles for designing and managing innovation processes does our organization practice?
• How does our organization foster innovation?
• How do we currently manage innovation and how can we improve our innovation process for the future?
• How can we build better innovation teams? Or collaborative team members/capabilities?
• How can we decide which ideas are most innovative? Will lead to the next generation of products? Breakthroughs?
• How do we incorporate customer ideas and feedback into this/next generation product(s)?
• How do we decide when to spend and when to save money/resources on innovative processes?
• How do we manage creative, talented people who have exciting new ideas, but who elude conventional structure, who march to the beat of their own drum?
