This calls for some radical rethinking of the existing business and deciding the design of the future business. This calls for thinking through a different designed structure for the business and different skills needed. The shifting from the current state to the future designed state is no easy task.
I have written a fair amount about the new innovation era, offering a view on its future design. One that is jumping to a fresh cycle of innovativedesign. To achieve this innovation has gone digital, pure and simple. So the need to innovate comes from digital as the source.
In the fourth conversation between Jeffrey Phillips and myself around parts of the Executive Innovation Work Mat, we took on several different issues around the design, function, structure and process needs for innovation. We relate this specifically within our Executive Innovation Work Mat.
Then innovation can finally play its true part in discovering, leveraging and delivering new value and impact. We have to recognize the days of simple product innovation are dwindling. Innovation is benefitting from the 4 th Industrial Revolution. It shifts our thinking and the management of innovation dramatically.
Less than 30% of manufacturing companies are actively rolling out Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies at scale” No wonder we presently have trouble attracting many businesses onto platforms when they are still very much behind in deciding or deploying a strategically thought-through IIoT digital design, that is connecting everything up.
3D-printed personalized organs, skin grafts targeted nanoparticles, and medicine designed to individuals’ specific biological needs will revolutionize personal healthcare. Hyper-personalization disrupts many sectors creating unique products and designs for customers.
Suggested reading: This article on Effective Brainstorming , and this book by Bryan Mattimore, which elaborates our interview from the Innovation and Creativity Summit on various brainstorming techniques (premium content): 7 – Lean Innovation Management. 5 – Design Thinking. Suggested reading: .
It ‘upends’ much, if not all, of how our business organizations have been organized around, mostly within themselves, it is needing radical change. A tantalizing prospect, full of innovation. A tantalizing prospect, full of innovation. It calls for bold management to instigate such a transformation.
The innovation architecture is progressively being recognized and put into place, it’s forming the building blocks of the innovation platform we need to build upon, ones for more radicalinnovation outcomes. So the article “ Want to Win at Business Model Innovation?
When we build capability and capacity we cannot build this simply overnight, we need to systematically build this, partly depending on what you want to achieve; incremental, distinctive or radicalinnovation as these are a growing set of competencies to drive you up the innovation pathway.
If an organisation lacks top leadership engagement it becomes, for many, the reason why they seem to just simply ‘limp’ along in their innovation activity, delivering ‘simply’ incremental outcomes. Top leadership in organisations need to shape innovation and be more involved in its strategic design.
We see the industrial digital ‘twin’ but are there digital twins within the Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry to design products to be more effective? Building differently the pillars of innovation as essential. Can those within these industries step back and rethink innovation. A dream or within the realms of reality?
It requires a more deliberated approach, such as the lean startup process, design thinking or a combination thereof. Tip: Tim Kastelle has posted a worthwhile series on how to implement lean startup for innovation initiatives. We can see that experimentation comes in different flavors, depending on the innovation context.
This distinction is crucial because the management systems, support structures, and resources required to nurture breakthrough innovations differ significantly from those needed for more incremental changes. Organizations must develop a capability for breakthrough innovation that goes beyond traditional R&D functions.
The resonance to my recent post on integrating Lean Startup and Design Thinking features to a combined process has been stunning. Interestingly, it looks like others support the idea of balancing and combining elements of both innovation approaches, too. It really seems to have hit a nerve!
They are quiet rightly suggesting “ with risks well-managed, companies can then use rapid experimentation and the techniques of agile development—an iterative process closely linked to customers and markets—to boost their chances of coming up with a truly profitable innovation portfolio”. More value, greater growth and impact.
Two-thirds of all breakthrough innovators stated that all innovation and product development is controlled and driven by a centralized organization, at least in its initial stages. More than 70 percent have a different organizational entity for managing radicalinnovation. (…). Accenture: 2015 US Innovation Survey.
The corresponding integration of incremental and radicalinnovation can basically be achieved in different ways: Building ambidextrous and lean startup capabilities. Established organizations with larger size usually target at extending their core business by incementally innovating their existing business model.
Each design perhaps is unique to fit individual circumstances. The optimism, staying ready to adapt, be flexible but also the underlying ‘steel’ to be assertive, creative and determined to push something through, to overcome the many barriers and resistance that comes with exploring more radicalinnovation.

Yes we constantly attempt to squeeze all our innovation activity into a well-designed process but so much of those more radicalinnovations just cannot fit and we are then forced to ‘kill them off’ as the system rejects them.
As Geoffrey Moore [2] has pointed out, breakthrough innovations need to “cross the chasm” between the initial customers and the majority of the market. Actively managing the market introduction therefore increases significantly the likelihood of success for radicalinnovations.
Somehow we need to respond in more agile, fluid and adaptive ways. Ones that focus on activities that pursues new approaches that lead to exciting innovation, that really does spurs growth. How can we design this into the fabric of the organization? The need to become bolder in our thinking. Differentiation and Integration.
Radical & Disruptive Innovation On the flip side, radical and disruptive innovation challenges the status quo by introducing new concepts, products, or models that shift market dynamics. Radicalinnovation is about making significant leaps forward, often creating new industries or reshaping existing ones.
“Building a Culture of Innovation” became a bestseller and award-winning for one reason: it provides a practical framework for organisations to place innovation at the core of their business strategy and culture. Leaders need to embrace innovation principles and model the desired behaviours personally.
Developing the agility to quickly react to changes, effective and decisive intent. Innovation portfolio management designed. Type of openness to innovation flows to encourage and drive outcomes. Determining how you lead and manage through governance and design. To promote “doing more with the same”, less rework. •
Discover Ideas for Long Term and Tactical Innovation Projects. Chicago, IL, August 1, 2018 — The MoshPit Innovation Service is an innovation project discovery service marketed by GFi (Gregg Fraley Innovation). The MoshPit system seeks to find combinations of concepts that lead to innovation.
As a result, we moved from initially offering solutions limited to the back-end of innovation (project portfolio management and Stage-Gate™ project governance), to the front-end of innovation, where collaborative and open innovation offered very efficient ways to feed the innovation pipeline with more innovative ideas and concepts.
These systems can deploy massive resources with precision, yet have the flexibility to keep innovations alive in hostile market environments defined by UPACS (Uncertainty, Paradoxes, Ambiguity, Complexity, and Speed). We will outline which structures which will be required by your unique innovation footprint. Success by Design.

To sum it up, innovating process models and agilization of operating models towards platforms is to be put higher on the agenda. Those innovations tap into the potential of digitalization and overarching internal collaboration, as also leveraging external ecosystems.
One can focus on tapping innovation internally, another can capitalize on external innovation through accelerators, incubators, acquisitions, etc. Or one can focus on incremental innovation, another program strives for breakthrough and radicalinnovations. Innovation process expert. Guest innovator.

The orchestration does not follow the picture of a symphony orchestra, but the concept of jazz improvisation: In the best case world class musician (= different digital units) create a fresh interpretation (= innovation) live on stage (= agile) with their audience (= customer-centered).
In this part, we put Scaling-Up in the context of a foundational framework for modern corporate innovation management which we call ‘ Dual Innovation ‘ Dual Innovation is a new and unique framework that integrates the two corporate innovation perspectives : Operative Business Units (short: BUs) and Corporate.
It requires a more deliberated approach, such as the lean startup process, design thinking or a combination thereof.

We can see that experimentation comes in different flavors, depending on the innovation context.
This ‘opinion’ on the question “What can startups and incumbents learn from each other and what are the biggest threats?” ” was originally published at innoboard.de. In recent years, an increasing intensity in collaboration between incumbent companies and startups has been observed.
Radicallyinnovate while optimizing operations. At the same time, the ability to deliver agile, instantaneous responses must be coupled with an ability to build lasting relationships with customers based, for example, on purchase history and how the product is used. To lead this transformation, they must: 1.
Yet control-minded project managers have tended to chart strongly linear paths that discourage distractions – depriving their teams of the agility and openness needed for new thinking. Companies soon began spending less and less time on breakthrough ideas. (For For more on the framework BCG has developed, see this paper.).
Engineers, designers, and architects are combining computational design, additive manufacturing, materials engineering, and synthetic biology to pioneer a symbiosis between microorganisms, our bodies, the products we consume, and even the buildings we inhabit. Below 3 means not innovating incremental/radical.

The Brutal Truth: When people have the permission and safety to challenge the status quo, make mistakes, and are trusted to learn through experimentation, innovation can emerge anywhere in an organisation, or team. It lost an opportunity to make innovation a daily habit for everyone by failing to embed it in its organisation as a way of life.
