The Indian economy seems to have entered
a higher growth trajectory and rates of 9%
and over may well become the norm.
The Eleventh Plan has set a growth target
of 9 percent during each of the 5 years
beginning 2007-2008
Higher Growth Path
If we want to sustain 8% growth, our
companies have to reduce business cycles,
time to market (quick supply) and to ensure
quality.
The major challenge for India during 2007 is
expected to come from China especially in the
IT segment.
Today, nations are competing in the global
market and quality can not be compromised

Higher Growth Path
The growth for IT and ITeS industry would
largely depend on

back-office services.
•Establishing global development centres in a
big way, to service global customers locally.

Definition
• Innovation is a breakthrough approach or idea that
can be completely new or an enhancement to
something that already exists; it is a refreshing
perspective that will challenge many who just
cannot see beyond what their own experience is
telling them to think or do.
• Innovation is something new that adds value;
creativity is something new

Types of Innovation
Products and services—Innovation applied to products
or services or market related activities
Operational—Innovation that improves the effectiveness
and efficiency of core processes and functions
Business model—Innovation that fundamentally
transforms the way a business works or drives revenue.
EXPANDING THE
INNOVATION HORIZON
To create something of value, the
imagination must soar,
unfettered, it must fly like a bird
in search of new horizons.
EXPANDING THE
INNOVATION HORIZON
Deep business model innovation is critical.
Product, service and operational innovations remain
important, but competitive pressures have pushed business
model innovation much higher on the CEO’s innovation
agenda. Companies that can substantially change how they
add value to their own or other industries differentiate
themselves and gain a competitive edge.
EXPANDING THE
INNOVATION HORIZON
External collaboration is indispensable.
CEOs stressed the overwhelming importance of
collaborative innovation, not just internally across
traditional silos but also externally beyond company
walls. Business partners and customers were cited as
top external sources for innovative ideas
EXPANDING THE
INNOVATION HORIZON
Innovation can be ignited by business and technology
integration.
Technology can enable and drive innovation. But to truly
capitalize on technology’s potential and unleash an
organization’s creative energy, technology know-how
must be combined with its business and marketing
insights. CEOs view consistent business and technology
integration as crucial to innovation
