Growth Was The Goal
As part of the mega-merger of DuPont and Dow Chemical, the corporation plans to split into three new entities:
- Corteva, focused on agrisciences
- Dow, focused on specialty chemicals
- DuPont, focused on advanced materials
DuPont Safety & Construction’s businesses had been relying on discoveries from years past to power their legacy businesses. With their upcoming status as part of a smaller, independent company, they were charged with driving rapid growth. To this end, they engaged SmartOrg to help them evaluate their innovation portfolio and to teach them how to manage their portfolio for growth.
