Innovation
Steljes defines innovation as “the act or process of inventing or introducing something new”.
Innovation forms one of the key building blocks of the company. Without innovation, Steljes could not have progressed to the successful company it is today.
Being Innovative
Being innovative is more than just being creative. It is the ability to channel ideas into something that can be of tangible use in the world. Sometimes making something so new that to adopt it is seen as ground breaking.
Pioneering Approach
The ability to take a pioneering approach is something that Steljes seeks in all its employees. We sparked a revolution in education in the UK by introducing the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard into the classroom environment. We had the insight to see its tremendous potential where others did not and it has transformed how educators motivate and engage their students today. Today this interactive technology is widely used - and often revered - in both the education and corporate sectors.
Disruptive Technologies
As an innovative company we have great expertise in the use of disruptive technologies. If you have a technology that you believe we should investigate further, please do not hesitate to email (info@steljes.co.uk) and we will be in contact with you.
New Product Introduction - NPI
The NPI process builds upon Steljes' 20 years experience and this is illustrated in the diagram below. The guide allows all parts of the organisation to see how new products are introduced to the company and also to identify when their department should become involved in the process.
The four main stages are Identify, Explore, Pioneer and Develop
| Identify | - | source new ideas from with Steljes or other innovative companies |
| Explore | - | carry out due dilligence to test the market |
| Pioneer | - | strive to completely satisfy a target market |
| Launch & Develop | - | drive sales and marketing for the product |
