A market without borders, an increasingly demanding consumer, an increasingly digital economy and a frenetic pace in terms of ICT evolution, dictate the urgent need for organisations to differentiate and update themselves. A differentiation that necessarily involves technological innovation.
The introduction of disruptive tools has brought with it an effective paradigm shift in the way business is conducted, paving the way for the response to a market that is not very complacent with error and lack of solutions. Taking the time to think differently, listen to the market, anticipate trends, provide better experiences should be priorities for all organisations. To this end, it is crucial to have a partner that makes the whole process possible, acts as a back-up and strengthens it, proving to be a precious help.
Creating a culture of innovation is a huge challenge. Everything should start by stimulating the team to leave the “status quo”, to discuss and propose new approaches, from the simplest things, but which can make a big difference, to the most complex – internally and externally. And, at the same time, to be up to date with the latest technologies to ensure processes capable of providing the right solutions at every moment. Although there is no single, miraculous recipe, take advantage of the five ideas we leave you to leverage technological innovation in your organisation.
- Implement and disseminate an effective culture of innovation
This is really the first step to take for those looking to boost technological innovation in their company. The truth is that there is no point in developing good strategies if the team is not aligned with a culture of innovation, if they do not understand it as something that is part of their DNA. It is crucial that the whole organisation recognises its importance and how it can optimise the business and improve their day-to-day work.
- Encourage and foster brainstorming
At the same time, it is also important to continuously encourage the exchange of ideas between employees and the will to go further, to overcome resistance to change. Even at the risk of a “no”. This possible “no” should be accepted as a learning opportunity and inspiration for new possibilities, not as a “mistake or failure”. So by creating a space for collaboration and brainstorming, companies are also setting the stage for an effective and safe atmosphere for innovation.
- Create an innovation plan with precise targets
Once you are aware of the degree of innovation in your company, the future objectives and the needs to which you must respond, it is important to determine goals that quantify the internal digital transformation process and the development of new external offers, how to get there, ways of control and with what resources (technological, financial and human).
- Embrace technology
Technology is at the heart of innovation. By embracing cutting-edge technology, adopting and implementing the latest hardware and software, the whole company will win. Which processes can be automated? What does the team need to increase productivity? What products and services need to be improved and/or developed to meet changing market and customer needs? What are the bottlenecks in the infrastructure to guarantee maximum performance, security and availability of access to information? And with so much technology on the market, which is the most suitable for each case? That is what a partner can also help with, as you will see below.
- Choose the best technology partner
Having a partner that allows your company the time to focus on core business, and has the skills and experience to suggest and implement the best technologies independently (by partnering with various manufacturers) is halfway to success. We all know that the topic of technological innovation in companies is vast and encompasses several fields, so a partner with a comprehensive vision and offer in terms of digital transformation becomes a major facilitator and ally.
