Of course there are completely different standards for judging how progressive every firm is and I will not touch upon these, as a substitute I’ll simply give attention to the highest 10 most progressive corporations:

In the BCG prime there are well-known corporations and no surprises, as a substitute within the different 2 tops there are some lesser recognized corporations, at the least in Europe.

What is shocking, at the least to me, is that solely Amazon ranks within the Top 10 in all three.

Apple is the chief in two lists, however lacking from Top 100 Forbes.

There appears to be lots of stress on expertise and digital innovation, with a lot of the winners being service corporations, not manufacturing corporations.

The battle is on and it’s turning into very troublesome to get into the highest 10 most progressive corporations and keep there for too lengthy. But it’s clearer that with out main funding in expertise and give attention to buyer wants, it’s and might be rather more troublesome to outlive.

Innovation is a pleasant phrase, however not sufficient with out motion and funding. And the businesses within the Top 10 understand it and follow it.
