Innovation is incredibly important. There is no growth without innovation. Not anymore. And here’s proof.
Before the pandemic, Accenture surveyed over 8,000 companies across 20 industries and countries. They wanted to know how investing in technology innovation was affecting growth. Here’s what they found. The top 25 percent of companies that were investing the most in technology innovation were growing at twice the pace of the 10 percent that invested the least.
That was before the pandemic. You might think that the pandemic affected everyone equally. But of course, it didn’t. When Accenture ran the same survey after the pandemic, they found that the top 25 percent of companies investing in innovation --grew at 5 times the pace of the 10 percent who invested the least. It's clear that the leaders took a different approach to innovation than the laggards.
Leaders claimed they were getting value from AI by orienting around “Decision Outcomes” as opposed to less than half of the laggards. The delivery of outcomes is truly is about the operationalization of AI. Innovation is the key to growth. FICO is laser focused on innovation. But which innovation? Which direction? Where do you focus? Which market trends matter – both in business and technology? Let’s take a look at some of the market trends that may resonate and be top of mind or perhaps a challenge.

Operationalizing analytics and leveraging the power of AI can revolutionize decision-making and drive superior outcomes.

Hyper-Personalization: In an era defined by customer obsession, achieving hyper-personalization at scale becomes paramount.
