        during our 
        Innovare Greenhouse 
        workshops where we co-create 
        a portfolio of strategic and tactical level new product and technology concepts.  These become 
        our building blocks to develop the innovation strategy.   
         
        The concepts are refined and 
        placed within a strategic portfolio framework considering value 
        creation, strategic intent, level of innovation and market impact.  
        Product and  technology development and product line plans are 
        envisioned.   
         
        The final 
        outcome is a clearly articulated innovation strategy that aligns the 
        organization and prepare for system wide innovation implementation.
