WHY DOES INNOVATION SO OFTEN DISAPPOINT?
Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company. Confidential and proprietary.
Lack of consistent performance across all three phases:
WEAK PROPOSITION Only 1 out of every 4 concepts tested address a real consumer need
WEAK PRODUCT 5 out of 10 concepts that succeed in testing fail when translated into products
WEAK ACTIVATION 1/3rd of launches don’t receive enough marketing support to meaningfully impact sales

(Each initiative was compared to others in the same category.) Only products launched between 2003 – 2011 in the U.S. with at least 2 years of revenue data on record were included. For products with more than 2 years of revenue data on record, only the first 2 years were used.
