Innovation

Top-line growth is what you want. What you need is a quicker way to get there.
For ambitious innovators, long-term growth begins with short-term wins. At LPK, we help you do both, offering tailored solutions that are built around your biggest challenges.

I NEED TO...
Rapidly test & prove demand.

Every innovator knows how important it is to prove market demand quickly and definitively. The trouble with traditional validation methods? They’re often slow, expensive and poor at predicting in-market performance. That’s because they measure what consumers say, and not what they do—gauging purchase intent, not in-market behavior.

Our Proto-Selling is a rapid way to test your early concept prototypes live on shelf in real stores and online with real consumers. You’ll prove that consumers will actually buy your product or service—well before you invest years and millions on development and launch.

Develop an innovation pipeline.

Win your unfair category share and drive top-line growth for your brands and businesses.

I NEED TO...
Use existing assets to win adjacencies.

Every organization is hungry for growth. The reality is that most innovation efforts fail because they’re too slow, expensive or risky. But within closer reach are fast, cost-effective adjacent opportunities that typically go unnoticed. Together, we’ll build an innovation pipeline that unleashes your overlooked assets and under-leveraged technologies to conquer adjacent spaces quickly.

Tap unmet
consumers &
whitespaces.

Fresh insights are rarely discovered behind one-way mirrors. But with rising expectations and shrinking insights budgets, innovators are being asked to do more with less. Our approach to Digital Insights lets you rapidly and deeply immerse in the consumers, experts, influencers and startups that matter most to your business—without the expense and hassle of typical travel-heavy research.

I NEED TO...
Improve my innovation capabilities.

“How should we build our innovation capabilities?” It’s a common challenge. Improving your odds of innovation success starts with a 360° assessment of your organization’s innovation capabilities. From there, we coach your team live on a pilot project so you can “learn by doing,” since training in isolation rarely succeeds. You’ll simultaneously deliver the business results your organization craves, while building the capabilities, culture and mindset necessary to make innovation a repeatable engine for growth.

I NEED TO...
 Spot & act upon emergent trends.

Every organization is facing change: new consumers, competitors and business models. The key to gaining competitive advantage and driving growth? Anticipating what future culture and consumers want and expect of your business. With Foresight, we’ll help you keep pace with your category’s fast-changing landscape, identifying meaningful, future-forward opportunities ripe for activation and launch.
