In these tricky times you can not outgrow your competitors unless you out-innovate them. With many new ideas strangled at birth by legislation and R&D belt-tightening, you have to squeeze as much innovation out of your company as possible.

Be careful though; you need to carefully gauge an idea's potential commercial value and explore its ramifications to avoid expensive risk-taking.
