It is widely accepted by CEOs and senior business leaders that innovation is the foundation of long-

term, profitable revenue growth. According to PwC, 97% of CEOs see innovation as a key priority

for growth.1

So why are innovation processes some of the slowest-

evolving, least-improved business processes in the

corporate world? And given the digital technology revolution

we live in, why do so many companies still manage innovation

programs, plans and portfolios in Microsoft ® PowerPoint®

presentations and Excel® spreadsheets?

For fifteen years, Sopheon has worked with some of the world’s

leading companies, a number of them in the Aerospace

industry, helping them to define and adopt new leading

practices for innovation across the enterprise, and providing a

technology platform that positions them for better performance.

We do this by providing software, service and best practices that cut through corporate

complexity to increase the return on innovation investments

Sopheon’s mission is to help our customers achieve exceptional long-term growth and profitability

through sustainable innovation


We developed our Accolade®

solution in 2000 when we saw

so many companies with a gap

between their strategic

growth ambitions and the

development activities

required to move them there.

Many systems and processes

existed within each business

function, but these were in

silos—with no cross-

functional processes to

ensure that valuable

resources were focused

on the growth opportunities

with the greatest payoff.


Sopheon’s Integrated Innovation Management solutions close this gap by providing a platform for

the cross-functional decision making to effectively define and manage all types of innovation

investments.

Companies that effectively manage these decision-making practices position themselves to win more

opportunities through innovative capabilities, initiatives, and solutions—which

creates sustainable,

profitable revenue

growth.

The impact of these changes is material and measureable. Effective Integrated Innovation Management

creates these kinds of improvements in business metrics:

• Improvements in the success rate of initiatives – moving from an average of 50% to as high as 85%.

• Improvements in cycle time/time to value by 15-30%.

• Improvements in portfolio value by up to 75-100%.

~75-85%Success Rate = ~50-55% Time to Value = -15-30%Portfolio Value = +75-100%
