For years, Columbia Business School professor Rita McGrath has been telling us that the traditional strategy of finding and exploiting a sustainable competitive advantage is becoming outdated. The world is evolving too quickly for competitive advantages to last for a meaningful amount of time. While the value of leveraging your organization’s competitive advantages isn’t gone, it is diminishing. The breadth of its user base is certainly a competitive advantage.

I had worked with SCRUM before, done training with Ken Schwaber (author 1 and co-founder of the Agile Alliance) and knew a few things from experience about how to achieve some success integrating a design team within SCRUM. I am not anti-Agile although I’ve been bitten a few times and feel trepidation when I hear someone singing its praises without having much experience with it. Where did Agile come from? Agile can be thought of as a risk-management strategy.

We need to create a digital transformation strategy, a clear roadmap and build the business case as it is going to be, well, umm…… transformational. A key need of this digital transformation is going to be asking the question of how can we build in ‘greater agility’ and what is presently stopping us from achieving this. Forming a strategy, roadmap and business case needs real considerations.

Innovation is advancing but most of it has been designed for a different time, the old era of stable markets, predictable solutions and having a clear sense of your competition. We still lack the alignment to strategy as this remains unclear, poorly communicated and lacking in this critical connecting up of strategy and innovation. It is often an environment that we must encourage to become a ‘feeding frenzy’ of experimentation, learning and being adaptive, fluid and agile.

At a certain point, clients stop listening to the strategy—they just want to get to the pictures. But does that mean that designers should just make pictures and leave the strategy to others? The best designers transcend the gap between strategy and execution. But rather than seeing picture-making as a mere stepping stone toward strategy, we can use it as our “super power” to lead. The roadmap is a collection of prototypes showing what each release will look like.

Companies get away with it because most of the time the competition does indeed comes from existing players. The conversation I recited at the start of this blog proves they are far from being alone in misunderstanding the importance of culture, processes and strategy to innovation.

And most importantly by strategy. The Natural monopoly axis measures the degree of which a company is shielded from competition. Being strong on one axis alone is a sufficient, though unimaginative, survival strategy. New technologies, competitors, regulations and social trends have a nasty habit of diminishing competitive advantages so laboriously accumulated. While option 2 is clearly riskier, it offers a potential of remaining competitive.
