Radicalinnovation isnt just about thinking outside the boxits about creating an entirely new box. From the advent of the internet to the development of CRISPR gene-editing technology, this type of innovation has transformed industries and reshaped the way we live, work, and interact. What is RadicalInnovation?
It requires a radical redesign of the organization, as it significantly increases complexity and where any digital transformation has to center upon as the critical enabler to enable this shift. It is identifying the critical capabilities and being adept and agile enough in learning from these, to embed them into the changing culture.
Digital is demanding so much in new processes that need to be more agile, responsive, reflective of new insights at increased speed and fluid in the design of those undertaking the solution to react. This agility needs the tools of testing, feedback, and adaptation to accelerate the innovation process.
Allocate resources to R&D and stay ahead by exploring emerging technologies like AI, 3D Printing, and Robotics which can serve as catalysts for radicalinnovation. Adopt an agile and lean innovation framework to ensure that ideas are analyzed and validated quickly.
We can build and connect different supply chains that read and react, we can create new ecosystems where we share a common goal and value, we can enable more agile systems that can adapt and respond to changes in real-time to reconfigure the ‘connected factory’. Innovation emerges out of the Industrial 4.0
There is a strategic resistance, there is a lack of organizational agility and still not the level of commitment this is required, driven from the top. initiative in radically different ways to explore and exploit. The internal change is slow.
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.
Google understands that an innovator wants to see his/her idea all the way through to completion. Incremental innovation over radicalinnovation. There is a growing trend across businesses towards rapid, low-risk innovations. Innovationagility enables reduced times to market.
It ‘upends’ much, if not all, of how our business organizations have been organized around, mostly within themselves needing radical change. It calls for bold management to instigate such a transformation.
I would start by saying innovation should always be in “creative tension”, and as we operate and manage innovation, this tension should also apply within any design. The ability to manage innovation design, function, structure and process. Innovation needs to have a system that is constantly adaptive and flexible.

Operating in unpredictable environments relies on an agile organization , following an adaptive, evolutionary and more bottom-up approach, resembling complex adaptive systems, e.g. in biology. We can see that experimentation comes in different flavors, depending on the innovation context.
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. Innovation needs a well-considered framework. AgilityInnovation / Ovo Innovation All rights reserved.
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.
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.
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.
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?
For corporates, radicalinnovations are, in most cases, a nice-to-have or the cherry on top of the cake. Rarely innovation projects are being prioritized over the daily business. However, especially in radicalinnovation projects, the customer segments are so different that it just does not make sense in most cases.
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”.

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. It is about dealing with measured risk and returns.

What is required to become more agile, adaptive and exploratory beyond our scientific communities? The aim is in building the operations agility in data, insights, seen improvements and cross-collaborations that get you to the point of repeatable outcomes and scalable options. We do need a new radicalinnovation redesign to take hold?
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.
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.
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.
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. Capabilities to be built up.
At the time of writing, our core argument was this; “in today’s global digital age, innovation has moved from being a “nice to have” to a strategic imperative for business success and survival. Innovation requires a balanced portfolio across incremental, differentiated and radicalinnovation.
This can be both good and bad – good, because the acquirers get access to new ideas which can add revenue, and bad because it tends to discourage the development of internal innovation capability, in particular radicalinnovation which, in our view, is a critical aspect of long term success. The importance of radicalinnovation.
This is the path of a flexible, agile, intelligent innovator. Test radical ideas and be ready to fail. In our own research on radical versus incremental innovators, mentioned in episode one, we found that radicalinnovators are more structured and there’s one very good reason for that.
Developing the agility to quickly react to changes, effective and decisive intent. . • Story telling/ narratives, those relating and explaining, sharing and extending. More bottom up engagement in formulation – sharing and informing. Seeking individual insights, encouraging an open learning environment.
Finally, from a people perspective, integrating a variety of experiences, backgrounds and personalities is key to innovation success. Both, lean startup and design thinking approaches leverage diverse, interdisciplinary and self-directed teams along their agile and iterative processes.
Somehow we need to respond in more agile, fluid and adaptive ways. Many try to separate them, often hiving off the more radicalinnovation development part to protect it from being overwhelmed by the often overbearing focus on the short-term and exploitation.
The MoshPit system seeks to find combinations of concepts that lead to innovation. Digital technology holds promise to improve, or radicallyinnovate, many areas of an organizational value chain. To discover radically new applications for digital tech what’s needed is taking a comprehensive look across all operations.
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.
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.
Incremental innovation: additional development and/or optimization of existing products, services, or models. Radicalinnovation: implementing completely new ideas into products, services, or business models. They have the most significant impact because new markets or customer needs may arise from this innovation; ?
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.
Over the years as we helped innovators be more successful and read scientific studies on factors related to disruptive change, we came to believe that the desire to radicallyinnovate and the openness to change had a positive impact on the results organizations saw from their creative projects.
