Innovation Portfolio Management:

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.

An effective innovation strategy depends more on an organization’s innovation processes, tools and culture than how much it spends on R&D. |

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.
