BASES
GET YOUR INNOVATION RIGHT WITH PREDICTIVE INSIGHTS
AND ACCURATE ACTIVATION FORECASTING.
Innovation is not random–it’s a science that can be replicated again and again if you have the right analytics, tools and support systems. As manufacturers are challenged to respond to a fragmented and nimble competitive environment with fewer and fewer resources, it is critical to not only identify attractive innovations but execute with excellence in order to avoid missing opportunities and protecting the parent brand.
Enter the innovation equation
The Innovation Equation is rooted in the fundamental principle of creating the most incremental impact possible on your brand through innovation and how your innovations are activated in market. It avoids taking already limited money away from successful innovations & your parent brand and ensures you’re seeing the highest return on innovation for the product you’re launching. Ultimately, the Innovation Equation helps maximize return on innovation by supporting the right innovation in the right way for a portfolio win.
Used separately or all together, BASES’ portfolio of innovation solutions can help companies launch successful innovations faster, more effectively and more consistently.
