It is required in business today. Innovation is constant and it creates value. China is one of the most innovative places in the world. Chinese clients tell me they cannot understand why the West let their businesses stagnate when so many opportunities to innovate are in front of our eyes. I have yet to see a visitor to China for he first time not go home with his eyes opened. The West needs to innovate to survive let alone to win in the marketplace.

Innovation needs to be tied to the marketplace. For many companies, pilot market studies can test the real performance of your brand. In Asia, quick to fail is often the mantra of many of the upcoming new brands. Xiaomi, for instance, is not afraid of bringing multiple products to market and then refining according to customer feedback. The low pricing and great value make this a sustainable model and the Xiaomi brand is known for innovation. Even if some products fail, the customer base accepts this given the great perceived value.[/foundry_icon_box][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
