FOREWORD
The Innovation Practice at the Monitor Group has worked with hundreds of companies on the topic of innovation.
We have consistently found that stories of innovation breakthroughs are key to getting both the leadership and the
employees of companies excited about the importance of innovation. Literature is scattered with examples of innovations, but they are often not presented in a systematic manner nor in sufficient number to represent the range
of innovations and industries. This book is our effort to compile and systematically organize a large set of exciting
innovations to make them accessible to all those interested in innovation. The examples have been selected by
seasoned consultants in the innovation space, drawing on their experience of proven examples of innovations that
have excited real clients.
We also found during the compilation of these innovations that most companies like to have stories of innovation
breakthroughs written about them. All these companies implicitly recognize the benefits of having had innovation
breakthroughs, validating what we have found in our previous research. Specifically, there are four premiums that
companies enjoy as a result of being viewed as innovative: (1) they have excited and motivated employees, (2)
they have other innovative companies who want to partner with them, (3) they have customers that love their
products and services and (4) they have a disproportionately positive return on the stock market.
Never has innovation been more appreciated or viewed as important by executives — and yet it remains too
complex for them to easily implement. Innovation Management is the business discipline for driving Innovation
Breakthroughs. However, in our experience it would be a mistake to talk only about innovation management and
the underlying concepts of platforms, partners, portfolios, processes and people. Only when Innovation Management is complemented with examples of innovation breakthroughs do executives get charged up about the range
and breadth of their opportunities and take action.
As with most efforts within a professional services organization, this work is built on the shoulders and minds of
great thinkers before us and the smart colleagues surrounding us. We would like to acknowledge the members of
the Monitor Innovation Practice for their support and contribution in identifying and shaping the content. Specifically, we would like to thank Ron Jonash for his overall mentorship, support and encouragement for this project. We

INTRODUCTION
Innovation is widely recognized as one of the best sources for driving business growth and enabling business
survival. Until very recently the word “Innovation” was associated primarily with R&D and technology and
“new” product. But now innovation has come to mean much more — it includes any change, across and beyond
the organization, which results in high impact and value creation. This book contains 101 examples of such innovations, to inspire and energize your organization.
• 101 Innovation Breakthroughs is a booklet that highlights the diversity and
range of innovations that are changing the world
• Innovation happens in all industries, even the most mundane and boring and
cuts across all markets and economies
• Innovation Breakthroughs deliver on a combination of met and unmet market
needs around Survival, Safety, Belonging, Esteem or Self-actualization
• Market / consumer experience with these innovations is often expressed in terms
of Affordability, Convenience, Relevance and Meaning
Innovation is ubiquitously
recognized as one of the
best source for business
growth and survival.
• Most innovations combine insight and multiple elements beyond just products
to deliver a unique experience to the market that range from acquisition to
use to disposal
• Changes in how, what, when, where, whom and with what partners and business
models are key for creating innovation breakthroughs
xi

• Flipping through the 101 Innovation Breakthroughs will be fun and will hopefully
trigger new insights and ideas for yourself and your organization. It could
even inspire you to implement them!
This list by no means represents only the best and most successful examples in a respective field. Many other
anecdotes could have been told and might be told at other places or at later times. Also, some of these could
seem exaggerated by the market, and we only take them at face value! We have aspired to provide you with an
insightful spectrum of innovations from different sources, application fields, industries and geographies.
The stories include well-known “classics” as well as new innovations, where the positive impact is not yet visible or guaranteed. A note of caution though — most information is collected from public sources. We cannot,
therefore, take any responsibility for misleading data, neither do we guarantee that all examples will remain
success stories in the future!
A spectrum of
Innovation Breakthroughs
to inspire you.
This book is meant to inspire — so we recommend that you flip through a few stories whenever time permits,
be it the daily commute, during quiet evenings or other relaxing moments. But if you find yourself reading it
from cover to cover, we will understand!
Range of Innovations
Innovation breakthroughs are not limited to any one geography or to any one industry. Our large collections
of innovation examples, although not statistical, supports this statement. We do find that U.S., Japanese or
Western European companies tend to be the innovation leaders, however, there are quite a few companies like
CEMEX in Mexico, Infosys Technologies in India and Natura in Brazil, that are driving innovation breakthroughs
in their own economies and worldwide.

Similarly, some may believe that innovation is the realm of high tech companies like Apple and Motorola, and
not for their industry. This would be short-sighted. We have examples of innovation across a range of low
and high tech industries, product and service industries, and fast and slow moving industries to challenge
that misconception.

Consumer Voice
Innovation Voices
Shareholder Voice
The analysis of each innovation is consistently presented in a structured yet simple and fun manner. The content may appear light but is surprisingly dense and will be insightful.
To increase the understanding of these innovations, we deliberately use the voice of key stakeholders to
simulate their thinking around the innovation. To have an Innovation Breakthrough, it is usually necessary for all
these voices to be aligned.
• The Consumer/Customer is portrayed through word-of-mouth, which brings
awareness to the benefit of the innovation, be it affordability, convenience,
relevance or meaning.
• The Shareholder should find meaning around revenue, earnings and market
share growth and other intangibles that make impact on the share price.
Innovator Voice
Competitor Voice
• The Innovator has to be able to articulate a compelling and meaningful
business insight to get support for the idea and commitment for investment.
• The Competitor has to concede that it is difficult to replicate or overtake
the offering.
As you think about innovation in your organization, ask yourself the following: what is your insight and what will
the competitor, customer/consumer and shareholder say about the innovation.

Pathways for Innovation Impact
A look across these 101 Innovation Breakthroughs reveals that innovation is much more than new products or
new processes. In fact, in all cases the innovators focused on changing a combination of two to four elements
across the innovation value chain instead of focusing change on just one element. It is this combination of
changes that “wows” the customer, and makes it hard for competitors to replicate.
Using the Pathways for Innovation Impact framework, you should ask your innovation teams some of the
following questions:

Book Vending Machines
Accessible and affordable books to provide a quick escape or
learning during travel or down-time
24x7 Cultural
What is the offering?
Pick a book anywhere — through vending machines at
unusual locations like subway stations 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. A tempting offer, most books cost less
than $2.30. The selection includes translations of
Sherlock Holmes, Paulo Coelho and even a dictionary
of mathematics.
What and who does it satisfy?
Nearly everyone, people who do not usually visit bookstores and are seeking a distraction while traveling. This is
reading made popular and accessible.
What else was out there?
People can either plan their reading in advance and buy
their reading material in a store or read the billboards on
the subway.
Why is it unique?
24x7 Cultural is the only company selling books through
vending machines.
Why is it difficult to replicate?
Inexpensive products on wafer-thin margins would be
daunting for most competitors; others may lack the holistic view and synergy (the company is also a publisher).
2
what
How has it left a mark?
A revolutionary way to
encourage new readers and
promote the habit of reading.
24x7 Cultural sells 10,000
books monthly from its
over 40 vending machines
in São Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro. The book vending
machines are now spreading throughout Brazil.

soft drinks fulfill this need through vending machines then can we not do the same for books?
KEY INNOVATION CHOICES
