Is incremental or disruptive innovation better? In your approach to innovation, you should weigh them both. What Is Disruptive Innovation? Disruptive” boils down to a drastic shift in how your business or your entire industry changes. That said, disruptive innovation is a gamble. What Is Incremental Innovation? The smartphone itself was disruptive, but the upgrades and shifts from year-to-year are incremental.

Eight Ways to Adopt Radical Innovation. At the heart of true innovation, however, is the need to continually birth new ideas, and new ways of doing things. What about innovation, how does it get applied if the focus is on best practices? Doing things great is what turns ordinary companies into innovative leaders, who shape markets, and sometimes create completely new market opportunities.”. Radical Innovation. That’s the mindset of an innovator.

When you read a report that has within its executive summary this: “ In combination the boards stand unarmed to enter the battlefield of future business creation in a disrupted world ” it makes you want to read on. It comes as no surprise to me or many out there working to disrupt the incumbent but it makes for difficult reading that this is not addressed far more head on. A lack of understanding innovation in all its forms is coming back to haunt them.

How and where does innovation fit will clearly depend on this transforming effect. We are fairly clear that incremental innovation is just not cutting through to give the types of growth expected. We need to transform, be disrupted or certainly re-imagine and this is where knowing your ecosystem comes in. Our existing organization needs to envisage a changing world full of disruption that calls for radical change. A tantalizing prospect, full of innovation.

At the beginning of 2013, Tim Kastelle and I identified four key issues in innovation management for the time to come. From our point of view, all of the issues pinned down at that time have gained significant importance, are being intensively debated and can still be considered cutting-edge for companies to stay ahead in managing innovation. Let’s have a brief look at each of them: Differentiating and integrative innovation concepts.

Research shows that growth fueled through organic innovation is more profitable than growth driven by acquisition, in part because the organizational capability required is vastly different. Is it geared towards nurturing companywide cultural change, reshaping a particular business division or exploring cross-company, occasionally even disruptive, opportunities.

Modern Dual Corporate Innovation Management approaches encompass two complementary directions of impact : Transforming the Core (by largely changing or even disrupting the existing operating model). Creating the New (by largely changing or even disrupting the existing business model). With more and more established companies facing disruptive threats and opportunities, deliberate process and operating model innovation proves to be a major source of competitive advantage.

The realization that innovation goes way beyond product innovation is a massive hurdle for many of our existing organizations to overcome, certainly in what they are offering today as solutions. This is part two of an extended series on my thoughts on “ moving towards a new way of managing innovation ” that explores the potential for changing the management of innovation. The radical changes we see occurring all around us requires radical responses.

The first time I was advocating the idea of a dual innovation approach, here also referred to as organizational ambidexterity, is now more than 5 years ago. As recently outlined, I consider organizational ambidexterity to be a key innovation issue for organizations in 2016 and beyond. Let’s sum up some relevant findings of these studies, making the case for dual innovation management: BCG: Most Innovative Companies 2014 . Accenture: 2015 US Innovation Survey.
Idea to Value
JULY 21, 2017
Every company says that innovation is important, and that they value the ideas of their people. Yet the problem lies in the fact that so few established companies actually know how to go about getting value out of their innovation ambitions, let alone turning it into profit. In fact, according to some estimates by Doblin , 96% of all new innovations which established companies attempt fail to make a return on investment. Suggested viewing: 12 – Disruptive Innovation.

Large organisations sense they are missing out on radically different business opportunities and cast their envious eyes towards the young start-ups, not just coming up with original ideas to solve existing problems and pent-up needs, but seeing the work as potentially disruptive to those managing in the existing space. It is tapping into an internal need for everyone involved, to innovate in different and more radical ways.

Good innovation is notoriously hard to achieve. Others looking at the innovation progress keep demanding tangible evidence and quantifiable guarantees that the outcome provides clear returns. Much of the innovation discovery journey is a disappointing one. Those not involved directly within the innovation project constantly remain skeptical or require more proof. Then disruption suddenly hits. So where does innovation sit within your organization?

There are two complementary approaches to innovation: incremental vs radical. When setting up an innovation strategy, there are many decisions to take. Should I choose an incremental innovation path? Or should I rather look for a radical, or disruptive, approach? This approach is very popular because it reduces the risk that radical innovation usually takes. Smartphone industry is a great example of this kind of innovation.

Disruption is the new normal in the global, mobile, digital world.

For many companies, innovation means taking products and services and changing them in detail: color, shape, features, size, etc. However, this form of incremental innovation alone does not work anymore in many markets. In summary, innovation is always a big challenge – it needs to be understood, first, and foremost. We offer to demystify innovation and show you how your organization can benefit from it, as well as the steps needed to achieve it. Open Innovatio

It is equally holding a new form of innovation back, one that is highly collaborative where partners come together to work on more complex problems. The power of multiple-connected ecosystems gives innovation a completely different momentum but it needs this 4th industrial revolution to be fully operative, for a digitally connected world in manufacturing and beyond. Innovation is one powerful catalyst ripe for leveraging in this 4th Industrial Revolution.

I was thinking over the weekend that for years we've positioned innovation incorrectly. Too often we position innovation as creating a new and valuable offering or solution, ready when customers are ready to demand new products and services. In other words, we've positioned innovation as something to do to prepare for future business, future needs and future demands. Innovation, where practiced at all, becomes incremental because of this pressure to generate rapid results.

When disruption came for the taxi industry, the music industry, the retail industry, and others, there were usually four flashing lights that just about anyone could see. When disruption is barreling down on you, the worst place to stand is the middle of the road. Those are three frequently cited examples of industries disrupted by new technology, but they are just the tip of the innovation iceberg.

Innovation is the key to gaining and sustaining competitive advantage, especially in today’s fast-paced, tech-fueled business ecosystem. Traditionally, many organizations used their own knowledge monopoly to innovate and deliver dominant technologies and products to the market. However, businesses soon understood that innovation cannot take place in a vacuum and it requires different points of view, diverse skill sets, and collaboration. What is co-innovation?

Innovations are infinite, even within a finite market. However, not all innovations start with the same chance at a fully productive lifecycle. Innovations that survive are most often those that are supported by an organizational culture that plans innovation strategically and maintains a portfolio of ideas that function well in relation to each other. This is confirmed by many innovator organizations I have encountered all over the world.

It is the failure to innovate that led to its “demise.”. In other words, it is because sometimes innovation strategies fail to produce products/ services that the customers want. And as the saying goes, “disrupt or get disrupted.”. Which brings us to the question, “Why do innovation programs fail?”. Below are 6 reasons why innovation programs can fail. Leaving innovation to chance is more often a gamble where odds are not always in your favor.

The term innovation has been much bandied about this decade. Although a hackneyed word especially in the world of education and business, “innovation” has much in its favor. Read WSJ ’s “Is a Peanut-Butter Pop-Tart an Innovation?” There are plenty of expert definitions of innovation out there. Companies are leaving no stone unturned in their attempts to drive innovation, be it radical, incremental, or breakthrough. It is a story of disruptive innovation.

Understanding Innovation Management. Is it a lack of innovation or an inability to cope with change? Either way, businesses need to identify where they are going wrong because innovation as a business strategy is here to stay. For survival, innovation is almost obligatory (Drucker, 1999). An innovation process “connects upstream idea valuation to downstream production and release to market.” Like any business function, innovation can be managed.
