Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Stratford Managers Corporation

$18,032.50

Innovation Management Services development

FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-10

Summary
A virtual innovation management tool- Stratford Managers is preparing to launch a suite of very unique services to help SMEs deliberately and continuously innovate. Our experience with SMEs that we support is that they start their companies because they have an innovative product idea, then they focus on delivery/revenue growth and their innovation stalls. There are four main reasons for this: Ideas get stuck in a parking lot, there is no accountability for innovation as a core strategic initiative, innovation is prioritized last due to the distraction of the day-to-day, and/or the culture and climate of the organization do not foster innovation.
