All innovation starts with an idea.
CSC's Leading Edge Forum (LEF) offers a powerful, multi-client community where the next generation of ideas on management and technology issues can be explored to help shape the agenda of how IT can bring economic value to our clients. The LEF's extensive portfolio of programs stimulates innovation and thought leadership - the ground on which competitive advantage must be built.
But thought leadership by itself is meaningless without the marketplace context that alone determines whether an idea has any relevance to the needs of our clients. CSC's ResearchNetwork brings together experienced researchers and leading analysts to provide the world-class market and industry analysis that grounds CSC's thought leadership in the concrete needs of the marketplace.
Having explored an innovative idea against the backdrop of market and client concerns, CSC then focuses on the idea using Collective Intelligence so that it can be expanded upon and built into our client solutions. By proactively setting challenges for ourselves, developing high potential ideas and collaborating to solve important problems, CSC can sustain and intensify innovation -- internally, with partners and, most importantly, with clients.
The next and perhaps most crucial point in the innovation arc is to take the innovative idea and translate it into a solution that addresses a real business need. CSC's Global Service Offerings (GSO) group focuses on developing an end-to-end portfolio of market- led, industry-focused enterprise solutions that directly address and often anticipate the most critical needs of our clients.
The underpinning of the Office of Innovation's entire architecture is CSC's Knowledge Management and Enablement program, which facilitates the sharing of intellectual capital among the company's 90,000+ employees worldwide through a virtual collaborative environment that includes highly interactive, global community structures; global connectivity companywide among CSC's experts, technologists and thought leaders; and easy access to a central, shared repository of tools, methodologies and CSC best practices.

The goal of innovation is economic value, and our focus on innovation for that purpose is what distinguishes
our approach of "practical innovation" from the more seductive dead ends of excessive creativity.
