CPI Innovation Integrator®

What is the Innovation Integrator®?

Innovation is the essence of CPI’s business. We know exactly what is needed for successful innovation to take place, but to understand what is required, it is first necessary to establish where you are.

CPI’s Innovation Integrator® model is a structured diagnostic business tool that provides a snapshot of your company, product, process or technology, and identifies the next actions required to bring it closer to commercialisation.

The Innovation Integrator® model defines where your company, product, process or technology sits on the innovation continuum.
