TRAIL BLAZERIn order to be a trailblazer, you have to be above average in multiple areas. This either means your team is still small and nimble or you are just very intentional as an organization. Either way, congratulations on making it this far. What most innovative organizations find is that they have to constantly disrupt or they will be disrupted. At this stage, we ask trailblazing innovators to question everything. Is there a more efficient way you could be organized, leading, and running the organization? How does your innovation and ideation processes work today? Can it be better? This is the phase where you must invest holistically in being wiser, faster, and more nimble than those coming up behind you. The impressive part is that you possess the dynamics to do the work when others don't. We find our trailblazers don't waste a ton on time patting themselves on the back. Rather, they are busy climbing the next hill. To learn more about why most innovative companies question everything, view our resources and reach out to us now.
