Unlocking Innovation for a Future Portfolio

CPG · 2021

The Challenge

To achieve its 3-year growth targets, the company needed to accelerate new product launches by combining its innovative technology with consumer insights across new consumption occasions. The challenge was how to boost product innovation with a human centric lens when the organization is already disruptive in its category. 

The Outcome

An online 5 day Design Sprint brought together 4 markets and 5 areas to collaborate and identify future growth opportunities. We started by presenting 4 new innovation territories and took them through the journey of  accelerate the product innovation pipeline through a structured, future-focused and human-centric approach. By the end of the week, not only did we have 4 concepts prototyped, tested and validated with consumers but the framework with the new territories structured a long term portfolio vision unlocking opportunities for each market. The innovation mindset went from FoodTech to a human centric, from a few product lines to consumer inspired territories for now and next.
