New ideas are critical to today’s global companies in
finding new business opportunities. The road
to new innovations is becoming increasingly varied.
More and more ideas are emerging through collaboration
with external designers, researchers and customers.

Ghatan, founder of the consultancy

“It’s a question of channeling this
energy in a direction where the organi-

he says. What’s needed is a clear, devel-

other interested parties, to come up
