Weak Signal's description: 

New technologies and the possibilities of digitalisation make innovation processes cheaper and more efficient, as they enable easy testing and evaluation – offline and online. Enterprises increasingly use digital and conventional systems to test an ever-growing number of their ideas and thereby increase the probability of finding good solutions and decrease the probability of disinvestments. Availability of easy and cheap testing also leads to lower barriers for innovations in companies and a change in corporate innovation culture and current research and development processes
