Innovation managers often face the challenge of dealing with unexpected market shifts, technological disruptions, and external challenges. These unforeseen events can force organizations into a reactive mode, struggling to catch up. At MAPEGY, we recognize this issue and offer a solution through our AI-driven Innovation Intelligence SaaS platform, SCOUT.

Understanding the Challenge: Reactive Approach to Disruptions

Organizations can be caught off-guard by sudden changes in the market, emerging technologies, or other external factors. This reactive approach often leaves businesses scrambling to respond, which can lead to missed opportunities and potential setbacks. Innovation managers need tools that enable them to anticipate these disruptions and act proactively.
