MONDAY 16TH Lesson 8 – The Ten Types of Innovation Process Innovation Process innovation is the application or introduction of a new technology or method for doing something that helps an organization remain competitive and meet customer demands. Process innovation comes into play when a company decides to find a way to improve or solve a problem with an existing process. Channel Innovation Channel innovation refers to a company's various methods to connect its products or services with its customers. This can include both traditional channels, like physical stores, and modern channels, like e-commerce. The goal of channel innovation is to provide customers with a seamless and delightful purchasing experience, allowing them to buy what they want, when and how they want it, with minimal friction and cost. Customer Engagement Customer engagement refers to the process of interacting with customers through various channels to strengthen the relationship between them and the business. It is a crucial aspect of sales as it helps to retain customers and foster loyalty. The importance of customer engagement is often overlooked, with some companies focusing solely on sales pitches rather than meaningful interaction. Successful brands understand that customers value peer interaction and learning something valuable.
