Innovation still takes centre stage in an unpredictable economy
Soaring cocoa prices have forced Isabelle Lam to rethink her business. The co-founder of Remix Snacks, known for its bean-based chocolate bark, saw costs spike by 50 per cent last year – a jolt that prompted her to examine the key ingredient that helped launch the brand in 2018. 'It forced us to look back instead of looking ahead at how we can expand,' says Ms. Lam, a registered dietitian who founded the company in Montreal. Considerations included the type of chocolate she uses and how she sources her ingredients. 'It's not so much impact innovation but asking how we can streamline things to make (the company) the most efficient it can be.' Remix's bean bark is a high-protein, high-fibre snack made with upcycled imperfect fruit, black beans and 70-per-cent dark chocolate – a concept Ms. Lam and co-founder Jamie Lee developed while studying nutrition at McGill University. Combining beans and chocolate into a nutritious snack helped the pair break into a highly competitive market. When cocoa prices more than doubled in 2024, and inflation changed how consumers spent their money, Ms. Lam had to adapt. Business leaders across sectors increasingly view innovation not only as a response to short-term shocks, but as a long-term strategy for staying competitive in a rapidly changing world. Research by McKinsey & Co. has identified the ability to innovate as one of the top three sources of competitive advantage across industries. Ms. Lam keeps innovation front and centre by staying aligned with the mission that inspired Remix Snacks in the first place: promoting nutrition and reducing food waste. In October, 2024, she made the difficult decision to raise prices, and to look for other ways to innovate. 'There's a reason why so many people are trying to get into the industry,' Ms. Lam says. 'We're not happy with where things are, and there's so much room for growth. It's important to keep that in the forefront.' That mindset is echoed in other sectors, where companies are similarly reassessing how they work. 'A vision is what motivates people across the board,' says Peter Josty, executive director of the Centre for Innovation Studies (THECIS), a Calgary-based non-profit that researches innovation. 'Building a culture that motivates people and responds well to failure is an essential part of innovation.' Building that culture isn't always easy, especially in uncertain times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses were focused solely on survival. According to Statistics Canada, Canada's innovation rate – the proportion of businesses that introduced product or business process innovations – dropped nearly eight percentage points between 2020 and 2022, when compared with the 2017-2019 period. Some leaders see volatility as the best time to think differently. Margot Sunter is the chief innovation officer at GGFL, an Ottawa-based accounting and advisory firm. Her role involves creating an environment where people are willing to experiment. She says uncertainty is exactly the time when business leaders should be thinking about innovation. 'To be truly innovative, there has to be a level of discomfort and risk-taking,' Ms. Sunter says. 'We learn more from making mistakes than we do from getting it right.' While accounting is typically seen as a risk-averse industry, Ms. Sunter says firms such as hers must adapt to two converging pressures: a shortage of chartered professional accountants (CPAs) and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), which is reshaping client expectations. That requires a rethink of what tasks CPAs need to perform – and what can be done by others. 'We have a really busy firm, and our accountants don't have time to drive those conversations forward,' she says. The firm created her role to make sure someone is dedicating time to keeping pace with change. 'For me, every change is an opportunity for innovation.' For example, when an employee leaves, stop to ask if you really need someone in that role or if there is a different way to do the work. 'We're not doing earth-shattering things, but we're really understanding what each person on the team brings and what our clients care about,' Ms. Sunter says. 'Change happens in lots of small ways, and it builds momentum.' Not all innovation needs to be groundbreaking. THECIS's Mr. Josty calls innovation a spectrum, with incremental changes on one end and general-purpose technologies, such as steam power and electricity, on the other. Companies can benefit at any point along that spectrum. But as the World Economic Forum warns that AI breakthroughs are ushering in a 'fourth industrial revolution,' Mr. Josty says companies need to adapt and innovate to compete. 'Change is the new constant,' says GGFL's Ms. Sunter. 'We can be part of it and help decide where to go.'
