THE SUM OF ALL PARTS
Successful innovation results from the right combination
of people, processes and technologies. But many consumer
goods companies still strive to get this equation right. That’s
why this issue explores the successful business processes
and technology solutions employed by leading innovators,
like Clorox (Page 14). Speaking of innovation, check out
CGT’s first Consultant Outlook Report (Page 27), packed
with thought leadership and guidance from industry experts.
