BASES Breakthrough
Innovations get the job done
What makes innovations great?
It isn’t a trendy ingredient, attribute, or cutting-edge
technology (although all of these things might comprise
a successful new product).
Instead, great innovations solve consumer problems
-and they do it better than anyone else.
