Innovation for Growth

THE ENTERPRISE INNOVATION IMPERATIVE
A challenging economy, growing global competition, shifting consumer expectations—several factors are creating what could be called “the innovation imperative.” Innovation has always been critical to a business’s long-term success, but with the pace of change today, organizations that don’t continually innovate on their products, services, internal processes, and even business models will be quickly left behind.
 
At Microsoft, we believe that successful innovation is more than just invention. True innovation must also support organizational performance, either by directly contributing to revenue growth or by delivering new efficiencies that help improve a business’s competitiveness. Technology can play a pivotal role—and we can help you use technology to inspire and support innovation across your business.
 

Fostering a Culture of Innovation
How can you foster a culture of innovation? It is about making innovation “business as usual.” We can help you use technology at every step of the way, from widening your idea pipeline to your employees, partners, and even customers, to developing ideas and quickly assessing their market potential, to optimizing your innovation portfolio, to executing on new ideas quickly with a fail-fast, learn faster mentality.

Building New Business Models and Revenue Streams
Emerging technologies in the areas of the cloud, big data, mobility, social computing, and natural user interfaces (NUI) present new opportunities for you to rethink processes, deliver new customer experiences, and gain competitive advantage. At Microsoft, we’re making deep investments in each of these areas, and we can help you take advantage of the latest technology to build new business models and revenue streams.
