Key Questions to Ask Yourself… Do you have a clear vision of where you want your company to be in two years? In five years? In ten years? How closely tied is this vision to the needs of your current and target customers? And is your understanding of these needs based on actual assessments or assumed information? Will this vision require innovations in your business model? In your products or services? In your markets? What will you need to do at the operational level to enable and drive these innovations? To support innovation, what changes will be required to your management approach, organizational structures, metrics and skills?
