Weak Pipeline For Major Business Gets Dramatic MakeOver.* Strapped with shrinking resources and lower priced competitive pressures the leaders of a major business was dealing with serious challenges to their market-share position. Their pipeline of innovation was weak and they needed a pipeline of meaningfully unique innovations very quickly. We used the Eureka! Inventing system to stretch their minds using the Planet Eureka! Open Innovation Networks to stimulate new thinking and dramatically different ideas to grow their business. They did not need more of the “same old thing’ but unique ideas that would create big new opportunities - ideas that can only come from identifying new benefit areas and real technology. Since their current innovation pipeline had an abundance of small opportunities it was critical to quantify the sales of the new ideas quickly so to prioritize the biggest opportunities. As a result of working with the Eureka! Ranch, the client received a 60% improvement in the average concept scores for the new innovations versus their current pipeline, a 20 times higher sales forecast per idea for the new innovations versus the current ideas, and lastly, a 12 times higher total pipeline sales forecast versus the current pipeline. Outstanding results that came from the new tools utilized with the Eureka! Inventing project.
