Fewer projects — and smaller projects — but more emphasis on making them scale. This is what the picture looks like for corporate innovation in France, according to a survey by Founders Factory France.

However, said Albin Serviant, chief executive of Founders Factory France, the remaining innovation projects were getting far more attention from the C-suite.
“Innovation is a board-level issue now. There are fewer projects but more emphasis on scaling them,” he said.

The CMO Survey : In the US, marketing's share of budget grows even as head count declines -
Results from the lastest The CMO Survey reveal that Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital tools among companies and customers.

For Kathy Lopez, it's all about the spreadsheet. When she started planning a future trip to Europe with her friends, she put every expense into Microsoft Excel to determine how much the monthlong adventure would cost.
"We're going to save a lot of money and planning time on the road," says Lopez, a retired city manager from Prescott, Arizona.
If your eyes glazed over when you saw the word "spreadsheet," please keep reading. Travel companies don't want you to make a budget. They'd prefer that you mindlessly swipe your credit card at the ticket counter, the front desk, the restaurant. You'll spend more, and you could end up in debt.
