Understand innovation intelligence in FMCG: how market evidence, company knowledge, decision support and learning connect across product development.

Assess data quality for an innovation decision. Identify missing, outdated, mismatched and conflicting evidence, and prioritise the gaps that need action.

Connect business intelligence, research and internal models to concept evaluation. Define system responsibilities and improve the handoffs in product development.

Capture the evidence, assumptions, decisions and outcomes of innovation projects. Learn how to make that knowledge useful in future development and launch reviews.

Prioritise product innovation research by decision relevance, uncertainty, cost and timing. Match each research question to a method and a clear next action.

Use scoring to compare ideas, assess feasibility and review launch readiness. Choose stage-specific criteria and connect assessments to evidence and results.
