What is end-to-end innovation?
End-to-end innovation has been described as the ability to see and create value at every stage of a customer's journey, from initial need through purchase and use. This is a holistic, or “full spectrum”, innovation strategy that casts a wide net. It refers to focusing on the entire value chain for an offering, not just its parts. The term can be applied to any market--tangible goods, financial services, software systems. The idea is to innovate from beginning to end, with a focus on the customer journey and value chain.
