About the Forbes Most Innovative Companies List
The Worlds Most Innovative Companies list aims to identify which leading-edge corporations are most likely to succeed now and in the future based on an eight-year study by Harvard Business School professor and master of disruptive innovation Clayton M. Christensen, along with colleagues Jeff Dyer, a professor at Brigham Young University, and Hal B. Gregersen, a professor of leadership at INSEAD, and also found in their newly released book, The Innovators DNA. The methodology relies on investors to identify the companies they expect to be innovative today and in the future.
Embedded in each of these companies is a code for innovation, discernible in their people, processes, and philosophies-what Forbes refers to as a 3P framework for understanding the DNA of innovative organizations. What does the average company need to achieve in these areas to spark an innovation premium? It needs a fundamental change within senior managers (some mastery of the five discovery skills), changes in how their innovation project teams work (processes that support innovation), and changes in philosophies that foster the belief that innovation really is everyones job.
The full list of winners and related stories will appear in the August 8 issue of Forbes and is available now online at www.forbes.com/special-features/innovative-companies.html.
