- Growth: Rate of increase in net cash flows year over year.
Options for Creating Growth
- Five basic options for a business to create growth:
- Existing products/services to current customers.

Mechanisms for Successful Innovation
- Three mechanisms that help the most innovative companies be successful:
- Use of Artificial Intelligence: Computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
- Use of Technology Platforms: Provide a foundation for developing other business offerings.

This includes collecting and using data, access to IP (intellectual property), merging physical and digital marketing channels, and advancing new technologies.
