Among others, Tim Kastelle (here and here) and Paul Hobcraft (here and here) have recently highlighted the increasing importance of business model innovation.

- Innovation outperformers optimize their portfolio mix more frequently and dramatically.

Further outcomes are:
- Innovation outperformers succeed by becoming more open and pursuing more open (and social) forms of innovation.
- Innovation outperformers expand external partnering to accelerate and extend innovation.
