The approach we take to embedding innovation in all its forms is a unique one that we call the Pathway Curve Methodology. Innovation needs to be worked at, to grow into a deeper understanding, over time.

Innovation is being ‘pushed down’ the organisation for others to interpret and offer their answers. This poor strategic understanding creates a lack of alignment and directing innovation.
