Abstract :
UK manufacturers need to dramatically improve their ability to generate new products, services and new ways of doing business that allows them to differentiate themselves from lower cost rivals. There are also many examples of exemplary UK manufacturers who can compete with the best in the world innovation; companies such as Renishaw, Kesslers, Gripple, Dyson and Glaxo SmithKline. Companies can learn from these leaders and understand the key practices that need to be in place to enable successful innovation - both in their business processes and in their products and services.
