through social media, competitions or open innovation) monitor the numbers coming in. Secondly, check the efficiency of your innovation evaluation process by monitoring how many ideas make it through the initial selection and into the next stage as projects. How many people are engaged in innovation activities?
It needs bold leadership. The structure of our business today cannot afford to try and stand alone, it needs to extend beyond its traditional supporting partners, it needs to learn to collaborate with a whole new range of partners, even some previously competitors, to radically adapt to the different world we live in.

Who is the competition? This is reasonably straightforward for incremental innovations but particularly hard for radicalinnovations. We can then evaluate the total projected impact of our innovation pipeline. Some of the key actions in managing the pipeline include: Qualification questions have to be answered.
Value innovation takes a different pathit creates entirely new demand by delivering higher value at a lower cost, making competition irrelevant. Instead of fighting over market share, companies that embrace value innovation redefine industry norms and unlock new growth opportunities.
Eight Ways to Adopt RadicalInnovation. At the heart of true innovation, however, is the need to continually birth new ideas, and new ways of doing things. RadicalInnovation.

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.
However, in every case, it is beneficial for a company to look inwards and see whether their people, processes and leadership are acting more as innovation enablers, or bottlenecks. When should it be used: Every company should look at itself frequently to find out how it can build its innovation culture in a way that is right for them.
This requires companies to proactively or reactively innovate their business models in order to remain competitive. Recent research has confirmed successfully disrupting as well as outperforming companies to be significantly more engaged in business model innovation. Cases in point: Lego and Burberry.
Only after senior management created explicit targets for different types of innovations—and allocated a specific percentage of resources to radicalinnovation projects—did the firm begin to make progress in developing new offerings that supported its long-term strategy.
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. (…). Source: Accenture.
New technologies can be deployed with a swipe of a finger, appearing across billions of devices all over the world, changing market dynamics in a heartbeat, while competition from emerging markets isn’t just producing cheaper goods and copycat products, but radically redefining the terms of production and distribution.
Innov8rs | Breakthrough innovations are characterized by their ability to disrupt or redefine the competitive landscape, often rendering existing solutions obsolete. They represent a radical departure from existing products, services, or processes, paving the way for new markets, industries, and value networks.
Having written several books over the past decade and contributed small snippets of thought leadership or entire chapters to over a dozen other books, I still return to the book I wrote with Derek Bishop and Jo Geraghty of Culture Consultancy fame. The second stage focuses on building an innovationleadership team.
This could for instance be future competitors or collaborators and the force could be competition from new entrants. Imagine you are on the leadership team of one of the top five executive jet rental companies, such as Netjets, GlobeAir, or Stratos Jet Charters. Step six : Analyze what recommendations the scenario would mean.
Broad Categories of Innovation At the heart of the innovation spectrum lie two broad categories that encapsulate the range of strategies businesses can deploy: incremental innovation and radical (including disruptive) innovation.
Interestingly, the pace of innovation stands among the top three risks in 2015 and tops along with regulatory risk, the list foreseen in 2018. With technology disruption, business model disruption and growing competition, social and customer engagement challenges the ability to manage innovation is growing as a concern and in risk management.

This could for instance be future competitors or collaborators and the force could be competition from new entrants. Imagine you are on the leadership team of one of the top five executive jet rental companies, such as Netjets, GlobeAir, or Stratos Jet Charters. This is what we call incremental innovation.

Culture is the key to any successful organization but by itself is not enough to stay on top in a hyper-competitive world. The perception of a gang of wired people in white coats doing the “innovation thing” is widespread, but nothing, based on data from 6,000+ companies in 62 countries, could be more wrong.
Those that follow this model often collaborate with FinTechs and start-ups through various means: innovation fairs, competitions, and small seed investments, to identify prospects.

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.
We will outline which structures which will be required by your unique innovation footprint. That starts by working outward from a thorough assessment of your organization’s aspiration and abilities, including an investigation of your company culture, leadership styles, and potential capabilities.

I’ll unpack the core principles of ‘Leading FOR Innovation’ and share approaches to help overcome the organisational antibodies that often stifle innovation, empowering teams to unleash bold ideas that can reshape your industry’s future. Horizon 1 activity has lower risk but also lower return.
Ultimately, the market evolved to support a declining price based on competitive price pressures, and that is good for everyone. Much like our discussion above regarding competitors, companies who take advantage of the “network” of customers can sometimes harvest significant competitive advantage.

“Leadership” has historically referred to “industrial leadership” – the managerial styles and structures that served industrial firms well for a century. But the leadership of digital businesses in the post-industrial age is fundamentally different and is defined by five paradoxes.
New technologies can be deployed with a swipe of a finger, appearing across billions of devices all over the world, changing market dynamics in a heartbeat, while competition from emerging markets isn’t just producing cheaper goods and copycat products, but radically redefining the terms of production and distribution.
The company could, for example, post on its website a competition for the design of a new corkscrew or teapot. However, when you need to set a new vision, reframe a problem, or search for a radicalinnovation, quantity will hardly help you find a direction. But leadership is a matter of focus and priorities. It might be.
This requires companies to proactively or reactively innovate their business models in order to remain competitive. Recent research has confirmed successfully disrupting as well as outperforming companies to be significantly more engaged in business model innovation. Cases in point: Lego and Burberry.
Innovation is the only insurance against irrelevance. It's the only antidote to margin-crushing competition, the only hope for out-performing a dismal economy, and the only way to truly amaze your customers. We all get it: innovation is the lifeblood of every organization.
That requires an understanding of when a set of radical ideas is ripe for monetization and, later, when the returns to incremental R&D are falling, necessitating a return to search mode. In fact, we think Cisco is one of the all-time best at this corporate skill.
Likewise, experts disagree on the type and level of innovation that is most beneficial for organizations. Even when people possess these five characteristics, true innovation is unlikely to occur in the absence of a meaningful mission or clear long-term vision.
While they don’t have the same resources as large corporations, SMEs can potentially be quite innovative. Critical leadership styles can be correlated to specific approaches, along with capability and competency gaps. They are less impacted by macro events, which can offer an advantage over regulation-bound corporations.
