Innovation Portfolio Management:​

Research and development leader dr shruti bhat, innovation by design thinking expert, speaker
​Shruti's approach to Innovation Portfolio development begins by diagnosing the client’s current innovation processes & results and then helping them build distinctive capabilities to drive future performance that would bring right products to market FASTER. 
​
Further, Shruti's expertise with patenting and patent evaluations guides researchers to find ways to circumvent enforced patents and develop generics that are not only 'Tough To Copy' but also create intellectual property assets for the company.​​

​​Now more than ever, innovation is the key to growth, to acquiring and sustaining competitive advantage and to building shareholder value  for long-term. An effective innovation strategy depends more  on an organization’s innovation processes, tools and culture than how much it spends on R&D.
Shruti's innovation strategies customize client's innovation portfolio to their needs, reduce time-to-market revenues as well as help clients define the role of innovation in their pursuit of growth.
 
She provides perspectives and tools on how to achieve strategic R&D objectives comprising- generic product development, market expansions, break-through innovations, strategic tie-ups, acquisitions, to rapidly translate 'Ideas to Profits'- Consistently !

​Shruti keeps a comprehensive focus on both top-line and bottom-line (i.e. value-mix) levers, helps improve product competitiveness and drive increased profitability- 
 
  • By  focussing on the top-line, Shruti helps clients quantify and translate customer insights and needs into advantaged product concepts and feature sets- together with an understanding of the willingness of customers to pay for them. Advantaged products drive superior competitive positioning and that in-turn drives higher sales.  
  • While, bottom-line focus helps companies deliver advantaged products and features sets to customer at the lowest possible price. The goal is to reduce basic product or service ‘functional’ costs and then re-invest the savings  into product features and consistent quality attributes
    that create real and perceived value  in the minds of the customers.
    ​  ​
