Cytec recognizes that for truly enabling innovation to occur, creativity must be balanced with careful project selection, risk assessment, critical review and robust execution. Cytec promotes an enterprise-wide culture of innovation and recognizes a wide range of new ideas and also the teams that envision and deliver them. Increasingly, Cytec innovation initiatives are fostering internal behaviors that transform knowledge into value for both their partners and shareholders. A sophisticated, yet easy to use innovation management system supports these endeavors.
