The Problem
» Growth is stalling
» Innovation is failing
» everyone agrees that innovation drives growth
» you’re investing more in innovation than ever…yet you’re getting less growth
» your teams are out there selling…but you’re missing growth expectations
» you’re not alone…something is structurally wrong
» the very concept that has driven our previous explosive growth – chasing value – has structural limitations that are now holding us back

Progress: moving, over time, to a more desired state (operationalises improving well-being)
The Progress Economy
» embedding value is an incomplete map; to a destination we struggle to define, agree and measure.
» it’s time for an evolved approach: a shift to value-in-use thinking, where we don’t add value, we offer to improve well-being
» and we operationally do that by enabling better progress
» progress reveals a clear operating system of our world, an actionable definition of innovation, and a set of levers to systematically drive innovation and sales activities
» value? that is comparisons of well-being, made before, during, and after progress
