Across each of our divisions we have established diverse multi-functional Growth Accelerator teams that are working together to generate innovative solutions that solve significant industry problems.

Based on industry knowledge and insight from customers, we identify solutions that will create real value. Within a short time-scale, the teams develop a proposition which is tested with customers to determine engineering and commercial effectiveness. Solutions that have been validated by customers and satisfy strict growth potential criteria are then pitched to divisional senior management for approval to develop further.

First piloted in IMI Critical in August 2018, this Growth Accelerator process has gathered pace and momentum across the business. During 2019, 12 teams worked on customer propositions and had more than 1,500 customer interactions.
