Leading Innovation Login Page

Leading Innovation Login Page: "Booz Allen Hamilton, the global strategy and technology consulting firm, each year reviews and rates the intellectual capital developed and implemented by mixed teams of its consultants and clients.

Below are links to descriptions of 10 innovations, selected as contest finalists by the firm’s leadership, from among more than 60 entries. Each represents an idea brought to life in a real company by a consultant–client team. Each entry is constructed in the same way: an explanation of the “big idea” that derives from a case, a description of the case, a description of the innovation’s applicability to other functions and/or sectors, and an illustration.

1. Originality: How novel do you believe the innovation to be?
2. Value: How significantly do you think the innovation will benefit a company’s top line or bottom line?
3. Impact: How broadly do you think the innovation can be applied?
