The importance of Innovation Today
What makes a successful Chief Innovation Officer? And why are companies like Coca-Cola, Citigroup and Humana creating
the role of CIO? These market leaders recognise the power inherent in developing new ideas, new products and new ways
to satisfy customers. However, there are few organisations that understand what it really takes to develop a culture of
innovation and how to develop a programme that achieves measurable and sustainable results.
