What exactly is an innovation strategy?

Strategy is about choosing between a number of different options to get the best possible result. Innovation is just one of the methods used to achieve your strategic goal. Without a good innovation strategy, it’s hard to achieve long-term results. An innovation strategy is a plan for developing new products or services that will help you grow your business. It may involve using market research to find out what customers want, then creating a product or service that meets those needs.
Innovation strategies are different than most business strategies, because of their complexity. They require careful planning, research, and execution. A successful strategy must address both internal and external factors.
