Consistent" and "innovation" aren't generally uttered in the same breath. Consistency is defined by steadiness, an even-handed conservatism, harmony; innovation implies convulsive change.
But consistent innovation is the hallmark of the companies that make up InformationWeek's Magnificent Seven--the seven companies that ranked the highest, by average, on the InformationWeek 500 list over the last five years. Several of the Magnificent Seven have technology at the core of how they conduct their business, but even those that don't share a common vision of the central importance IT holds in driving business forward. E.&J. Gallo Winery, first among the Magnificent Seven, exemplifies consistent innovation. Gallo has placed within the top 50 on the InformationWeek 500 every year since 2003 and was our No. 1 company in 2004.
