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?
The need to channel your resources into more productive value-added activities is essential as ‘good’ resources are growing in scarcity. The need for radicalinnovation changes the present position. Demands by customers are shifting to expecting customer experience and engagement that we must provide.
Innovations absorb resources and cost money. Innovation is risky. Most radicalinnovations fail so let’s just keep making our current products and services better. If we do not innovate our competitors will find ways to overtake us. Everyone is busy but we have to find time and resources for innovation.
What additional resources are needed to win the deal? They contribute ideas and resources to help close sales. This is reasonably straightforward for incremental innovations but particularly hard for radicalinnovations. We can then evaluate the total projected impact of our innovation pipeline.
Best Practices for Disruptive, Discontinuous Innovation Create a culture of innovation and encourage a risk-tolerant environment. 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.
The importance of big data, the speed of technology adoption, mobile products, digital design, and technology platforms are at the heart of innovation. It will fundamentally change the type of resourcesinnovation requires. The road you take will decide where innovation is heading for you.
Innovation ecosystems are networks of organizations and individuals that co-create value through innovation 2. From closed to open : Innovation used to be seen as a closed process, where organizations relied on their own resources and capabilities to innovate.
What Is Disruptive Innovation? Disruptive innovation, a term coined by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, refers to a process by which smaller companies with fewer resources successfully challenge established businesses. It often creates new high-end markets without targeting underserved segments.
One department that does not often come up in the list is Human Resources. But HR has a massive impact on innovation – much more than people realize. So let’s understand how Human Resources can drive innovation? The post How Human Resources Can Drive Innovation? It is associative and cumulative.
How are we going to tackle the rapidly depleting natural resources, the future conflicts over water, food, or energy? The growing radicalinnovation activity gap. We are facing the innovation gap as our problems keep growing linearly yet we must find ways to rapidly scale and deploy our knowledge in new, more dynamic ways.
Even if we can speed up innovation activities (we've run innovation programs from problem definition to fully developed prototypes in under a week) you've still got to go through the product development and launch cycle. Another approach is to use innovation to ferret out efficiency gaps.
Even if they have agreed on the importance of innovation and have set up teams or departments to develop new value-adding, innovative products and services, these products may end up never being launched because nobody in the existing business units will take responsibility and take the risk of launching them.
You Need an Innovation Strategy for it to really be seen as a critical resource of an organization. Gary Pisano had an excellent article “ You Need an Innovation Strategy” on HBR. “The first is to answer the question “How are we expecting innovation to create value for customers and for our company?”
The dynamics are coping with the pressures coming from the top, demanding more growth and impact, controlling the risk, ROI’s and resources in ways that often seem at odds with the needs to grow a business. Often you see or hear the lingering fears of wanting more radicalinnovation but the worries of the upheaval this brings.
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.
How It Differs from Other Types of Innovation Oftentimes, breakthrough innovation is used interchangeably with radical and disruptive innovation. Radicalinnovation involves entirely new technologies or concepts that lay the foundation for future industries. However, there are some important differences.
Africa has the lowest levels of per capita use of modern energy, and despite the region being home to 60% of the best solar resources globally, there’s only 1% of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity due to lack of sufficient investments being directed towards these resources. .
Thematic challenges help align innovation efforts with the organization’s strategic goals. Incremental vs. RadicalInnovation Challenges: Incremental innovation focuses on making small improvements to existing products, services, or processes. These challenges are typically lower risk and easier to implement.
Leadership styles are critical to innovation efforts, especially when working with uncertainty. In the resulting report, they identified several factors that were positively correlated with the successful execution of innovative concepts. RadicalInnovators more adaptive. The Fertile Field.
This approach is very popular because it reduces the risk that radicalinnovation usually takes. Moreover, companies with great human capital, resources, and capital find that is much easy for them to follow this innovation path, which brings clear advantages, such as: Helps companies remain competitive.
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.
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.
Next, well look at how product innovation actually unfolds in practice. Approaches to Developing a Product Innovation Strategy A clear product innovation strategy gives companies direction. It helps focus resources, align teams, and increase the odds of developing products that succeed in the market.
While stage-gate processes have traditionally been favored in predictable environments, a new generation of product innovation process is taking hold due to increased pressure: lean innovation. We can see that experimentation comes in different flavors, depending on the innovation context.
So they test its various components and their combinations—its customer value proposition, profit formula, key resources, and key processes—in controlled experiments in tightly circumscribed markets, learning as they go and making adjustments. They know that no new-business model is perfect from its inception.

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. In the case of MOBIKO, they have understood soon enough that they would lose a lot of time and resources by holding onto the AUDI AG structures.
Magnus Penker, one of the world’s leading experts on radicalinnovation and transformation, residing in New York, leads governmental and organizational transition. Resources : Secure your supply, personnel, skills, and infrastructure: Super-clusters, reorganization, and redistribution of personnel between companies.
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?
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.
If it is left unsaid, radicalinnovation will never naturally happen, what a pity. How about approving some pilot projects and providing resources to have unfettered six-month periods with no rules and no reviews? This comes from engaging with your customers, in the market place not your own premises.

Operational Strategic Initiatives (those initiatives that need to be executed now) are prioritized by using Impact-Feasibility mapping, making sure to optimize resource usage. This is what we call incremental innovation. Incremental and radicalinnovations can be anything from services and products to business models and processes.
These are about learning, searching and delivering the winning value on the new innovation value scale of ‘new generation activity’ from recognizing how we balance out exploitation (extending the life) and exploration (new understanding). Each is often competing for scarce resources, a constant interplay.
Given that organizations have limited resources and money, prioritization is critical. You want to manage your innovation pipeline the way you manage your personal investment portfolio. Equally, your innovation portfolio should be comprised of a diverse set of investments in various types of challenges.
The innovation spectrum. Innovation is not one specific thing, it is a spectrum. It can start with small, incremental changes and expand to radicalinnovation, creating brand new solutions or disrupting an entire industry. How to move up the innovation spectrum? Incremental. Differentiated.
The benefit with the highest potential value for any organization is radicalinnovation. With all the innovative and creative minds to utilize at universities, it is guaranteed that some brilliant radical ideas would be generated.
There is a very strong case we need to rethink the whole management of our innovation activity, as innovation is failing to deliver on its potential promise in the current ways we are attempting to undertake it, highly constrained and under-resourced.
This is partly why I focus on the Energy Transition and Industrial Transformation for my innovation and ecosystem work. Let us remind ourselves where those collaborations between different stakeholders deliver real change in radical, innovative solutions.
However, there are also several implicit practices that your company may have in place that are showing employees that innovative ideas are not valued. These are not as easy to see from the surface so it may be wise to involve your Human Resources department to truly dissect the root of these implications.

Many projects lose traction when the team doesn’t have a single vision of what success means for this innovation project. Within this section, your goal for the innovation will determine where it lies on the scale from incremental to radicalinnovation and the most intelligent strategy for gathering pre-project data.
The result is a painfully tragic waste of resources and energy that could have gone into profitable, effective business solutions to real problems. Test radical ideas and be ready to fail. Our research demonstrates that radicalinnovation is a safer path in the long-run.
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.
