Most leaders know that the only way to sustain growth is to innovate and continually replace capabilities and business models with better ones.

So why don't organizations put the same emphasis on business model R&D as they do on product R&D or technology innovation? Why do companies test new products or marketing campaigns but not new capabilities and business models?

Because experimenting is hard, there are no guiding principles, and failing can seriously disrupt operations. BIF offers its members and partners a more manageable environment where private and public sector innovators can come together to explore and test better ways to deliver value.

Members and Partners in the Business Innovation Factory directly support BIF’s mission and engage in BIF projects.
