89% of executives believe that disruption and uncertainty in their industry is creating greater pressure to innovate and stay relevent.
Our survey of 777 senior executives from across the globe has uncovered a global innovation phenomenon - accelerated, concentrated and expedited by the tumult of the last few years. A mindset shift is clear across the traditionally laggard infrastructure, construction, transportation, energy and natural resources sectors, with executives uniting through a refreshed push for innovation within their organisations.
COVID-19 and its associated shocks have had an extraordinary impact on innovation. The status quo has been de-constructed, fresh thinking is bubbling up, and there is a confidence and a bullishness that did not exist pre-COVID.
We have identified key themes that explain how COVID-19 has changed innovation in the infrastructure, construction, transportation, energy and natural resources industries.
In the next one or two years, organisations will have a once-in-a-century
opportunity to leapfrog. Industry lines have been blurred, symmetric
competition is coming into and impacting various industries and sectors
and therefore others will have a significant first-mover advantage over
these organisations So it’s not a question of, “Should we grow and
focus on the future?”, it’s a question of, “How quickly can we grow,
thrive, and plan ahead based on digital innovation?”
