Clareo Index was developed by Clareo Partners, LLC, a leading consulting firm in the areas of innovation and business creation. The original concept and survey originated from Clareo Partners’ work with a leading consumer packaged goods company in supplier innovation. After Clareo Index’s internal adoption by Clareo Partners’ client, it immediately became apparent that the Index had the potential to revolutionize innovation within the consumer packaged goods industry by providing the framework and tools to measure and discuss innovation. With their client$rsquo;s encouragement and support, Clareo Index was launched with the mission to raise the bar for innovation and partnership within the consumer packaged goods industry.
