Proactive investment
Given the pace of change with today’s business climate, simply reacting to well-defined needs in the marketplace significantly reduces the value a professional services organization can offer its clients.
At BDO, we are constantly evaluating new trends in the market that are likely to impact our clients in the short, medium, and long term. In turn, we are making proactive investments in innovation initiatives that have the potential to offer our clients a sustainable competitive advantage.
Our commitment to innovation is validated by our proactive investments and our dedicated Innovation & Change practice. Powered by a team of visionary professionals, our practice strategically looks for ways to exponentially improve our internal operations and the contemporary solutions we provide to our clients.
Across the innovation spectrum
Innovation refers to more than just the introduction of new products or services. It encompasses a broader spectrum of strategic and operational variables that affect a business and all of its stakeholders.
We take a comprehensive approach to the way we view innovation. We consider the potential impact of innovation advancements on a client’s processes, systems, solutions, strategic partnerships, and their brand in the marketplace.
Benefitting all of our stakeholders
Innovation initiatives are expected to improve the prospects for the organization that invests significant time, energy, and resources to bring those initiatives to life. However, to measure the resulting improvements such as savings, efficiencies, and sustainability, it is best to assess how those benefits are shared or passed on to the organization’s stakeholders.
When we evaluate innovative ideas, a significant part of our evaluation process is to determine how many of our stakeholder groups would be positively impacted by each innovation that is brought to the table. With multiple critical stakeholders to consider, including our clients, our employees, our strategic partners, and the communities that we serve, we are constantly seeking ideas that positively impact our entire value chain.
