Innovation Excellence

STRATEGY REALIZATION requires INNOVATION EXCELLENCE
Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two–and only two–basic functions: marketing and innovation. (Peter Drucker)
Your company’s future depends on delivering innovation profitably.

Innovation with Intent means that it is focused. It is focused on your business, your market, your distinctive competencies, and how you delight your customers. Through our approach, innovation aligns with and reinforces strategy. espi has worked with its customers to set up processes for each phase of innovation: ideation and discovery, delivery, and commercialization.
