Innovation is all the rage, and for good reason. The most successful innovators outperform other companies by a wide margin.
For example, according to the 2018 Global Innovation 1000 study, the sales growth of top innovators was 2.6 times and the operating income growth 2.5 times that of the average of the companies in the study.
Even more startling is the fact that during and immediately following the 2008 financial crisis, the difference grew to 7 times the average, which goes to show that the best innovators are much better suited to face unexpected changes in their operating environment.
