WHY AN INNOVATION FRAMEWORK? Companies struggle with guiding new/innovative
ideas from concept to operational use. In creatively driven companies, there’s rarely a
shortage of new ideas. Inspiration for the Innovation Framework came
from working closely with world class creative organizations.
This framework was developed and proven with Big Data but can be applied in other domains as well.
