The ability of a business to sustain and flourish amid rising supply forces with innovation at the heart of it all gives it a strong competitive edge. Technology is changing faster than ever, which simply means that in order to survive, and thrive, incorporating the latest advancements in technology -- to boost productivity and cost efficiency -- is probably the only way.

EarlyBirds, an open innovation platform, is an intermediary between innovators and early adopters. The company has over 4.8 million globally distributed innovators and the ecosystem is a collaborative force facilitating faster adoption of inventions.

The competitive edge

EarlyBirds is of the view that businesses have to have a ‘proactive approach’ towards evaluating and adopting new technologies before it is too late. Early adopters benefit from the competitive edge they achieve by timely implementing improvements based on new innovations that have the power to change the way any industry operates.

It is quite possible that a business might require more than one emerging technology -- this can include automation and artificial intelligence and so on -- and hence convergence of a variety of technologies is a better approach toward staying ahead of the competition in the concerned industry. EarlyBirds asserts that by proactively evaluating, testing, and applying the right combination, executives can achieve greater control over future direction, thereby ensuring competitive edge.
