Insights Series 2

Trees don’t grow to the sky forever. Even though an organization’s core business may be healthy today, this does not mean doing more of the same will lead to long-term sustainable growth. Globalization, intense competition and accelerated product development cycles have made innovation to be an indispensable element of organizational success. For organizations and nations alike, innovation should be harnessed as a multiplier to growth.

In the inaugural issue of the Insights Series – Volume 1 in 2010, we focused on “Demystifying Innovation”. As the world was beginning to emerge from the global financial crisis, and Bangladesh was getting reacquainted with a new political leadership, we recognized that a systemic redesign was taking shape both globally and at home. In that publication we drew attention to links between innovation and economic development and discussed the rationale behind leveraging innovation as a way of informing the systemic redesign. We explored the why.

In this current issue of the Insights Series – Volume 2, we explore the how. Our theme this year is “Applied Innovation”.
