Nowadays, one of the most pervasive issues in the innovation management world is organizational resistance to change. Companies that become too comfortable with the status quo risk stagnation and complacency, missing out on critical advancements and growth opportunities. At MAPEGY, we understand these pain points and offer a robust solution with our AI-driven Innovation Intelligence SaaS platform, SCOUT.

Understanding the Challenge: Resistance to Change

Resistance to change is often rooted in organizational culture and mindset. When employees and leaders become too accustomed to existing processes and successes, they may resist new ideas and innovations. This resistance can lead to stagnation, where the organization fails to keep up with technological advancements and emerging market trends. For innovation managers, overcoming this hurdle is crucial to driving continuous improvement and staying competitive.
