As the world becomes more interconnected, the impacts of disruptions to product development are now felt more widely, which means product-driven organizations need to be more responsive and adaptive in how they manage their portfolios. Fierce competition and market oversaturation are just a few challenges organizations face when struggling to bridge the gap between the innovations they think they need to respond to and disrupt versus those that will offer the most value for the business.

Even the most effective leaders recognize how much is outside of their control, but one thing we all have agency over is how we communicate with others. Clearly articulated requests, the kinds that elicit real responses, don’t come naturally to most of us. As it turns out, there’s an art to the request — whether it’s directed at an employee who’s producing subpar deliverables or a colleague from a different department who hasn’t been pulling their weight on a collaborative project.

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge
