The word "innovation" and the term "creating innovation" are expressions that get used all too easily. Most specially by consultants and consulting organizations seeking to convince companies that the employment of their services will increase company return, profit and dividend. In today's competitive marketplace, marketers and business owners turn to advisors and consultants for guidance, knowledge and insight. Seeking new and innovative ways to reach new markets, consolidate existing enterprises and business efforts, attract new customers, and increase overall performance. But consultants and consulting agencies rely on traditional methods of offering business change. Using focus groups, or so called knowledge and experience in innovation, to provide the client with a supposed blueprint for "success". Such blueprints usually involve investment and committment from the clients perspective, adapting new business practices, adjusting product or service lines, all based upon the consultants own belief and recommendations for how greater success can be achieved. Sadly, more often than not innovation consultants leave the client to question what is the real value of the consultants generic proposals for their business? And more importantly how can the client be sure that the proposal is even relevant or will guarantee any return on investment for their efforts? Unlike consultancy agencies and organizations, Impossible Media does not believe that innovation and blueprints for innovation can be achieved or guaranteed through localized focus groups or traditional consultant tools and mindsets of approach. This is because, quite simply, it cannot. At Impossible Media, we believe that in order to create innovation, and an action for innovation that is specifically relevant to your needs, situation and circumstance. We must first understand how you present your business, operate and market your product and service lines, and listen to how your market position has evolved. More than this, the very essence of your business efforts are wholly reliant upon your market segment, your competitors, upon the needs your market has, and the ability of your company to distinguish itself and meet these needs. In today's modern world of communication, of modern consumer cycles and behavioural patterns, the use of focus groups or traditional consulting organizations to provide blueprints for innovation is no longer valid. As market opinion is no longer driven by conventional means, or found through traditional approaches to gaining market knowledge. The modern consumer cycle helps us understand that the overwhelming majority of decisions made to purchase business to business, or business to consumer products and services in the real or virtual world, are made from the internet. On the internet, in the privacy of the users office or own home and without the distraction of staff or over zealous sales employees. Your potential customer is able to search, locate and gain information, that not only determines the brands, companies and organizations they define as relevant and potential. But more importantly, compare between, become influenced by, and ultimately make their purchasing decisions based upon. Such is the intelligence of the modern consumer and the power of the internet. Where today's consumer is no longer convinced by expensive television commericals and campaign efforts, but is instead able to determine for themselves what options are relevant and valid and which best fullfils their own needs and requirements. The success of any brand, product, or service in today's market is first found in the acceptance of the company to understand that it is the consumer that now governs and empowers the brand. Communication, language and market positioning which does not align with the modern consumers search, needs and values of products and services within any business or industrial market segment means isolation and exclusion for the company and their marketing offerings from the consumer. Meeting the consumer on their terms, allows comparison and consideration of your products and services by the consumer.
