Innovation
The key to success in a changing world
Innovation is a necessity
In today’s dynamic world, innovation is no longer an option, but a necessity.
Companies that stand still risk falling behind the competition.
Gwynt helps companies integrate innovation into their organization to gain or maintain an edge.
Innovation according to Gwynt
Innovation can manifest itself in various forms, from developing new products and services to optimizing processes and creating new business models. The main forms of innovation are:
1. Gradual innovation
This type of innovation involves improvements that can be implemented relatively quickly.
This may involve working with a new machine, a different type of service or an existing product in a more sustainable package.
Most companies apply this type of innovation on a daily basis, but there are also companies that only start doing it as soon as the going gets tough.
2. Business model innovation
This involves, for example, mining a new target group or market, or bringing new products to the existing customer base.
Within 2 to 5 years, you often see results from this type of innovation.
Some examples are: a plant-based product, internationalization of a formula or offering products in a subscription form.
3. Disruptive innovation
involves new customers, new markets AND new products.
This is obviously the most difficult form of innovation, examples being cultured meat or the emergence of ChatGPT and other AI tools.
Some innovative breakthroughs made by Gwynt:
Food: Development of a vegetable line for a major dairy supplier, redesign of New Product Development processes at various parties
Retail: Improving a purchasing process through AI, developing a new formula for a specific target group
Discrete manufacturing: set up business development department, implement servitization in the business model of a manufacturing company
