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. The roadmap doesn’t just benefit the project team or the designer.

As you survey your company landscape, you may see that a variety of well-intentioned teams such as “Lean Startup,” “Design Thinking,” or “Crowdsourcing” are within pockets, preaching practices. Build a blueprint and roadmap: Keep the innovation life cycle in mind and build a blueprint of preferred approaches for each element of it.

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.

Companies get away with it because most of the time the competition does indeed comes from existing players. Sales would lean on their channels to ensure better exposure to the new product.

When starting out on an innovation initiative, it’s far better to make use of the resources you have at hand than to start totally from scratch – that is, try to adopt lean practices wherever possible. Using new technologies to power innovation is critical for securing a competitive edge. Don’t underestimate the power of habit.

He knows a lot is riding at stake, so he spends many more days developing his elevator pitch, outlining his product roadmap, and polishing his 10-page slide deck.

To get to this transforming point we need to build in a faster adaptation of business strategies and turn out faster innovation outcomes that meet these needs as key to this. We need to ask can this lead to disruption, ours and others for competitive advantage? This requires a company to become far more ‘highly automated and adaptive’.

The way how new business models evolve depends to a large extent on how companies adapt their established value-added processes and structures to environmental changes and on how they face competition.

Stephanie Mann EVP – Corporate Development and Strategy, Live Oak Bank. Stay lean and mean, do everything you can yourself, and outsource things that you need, as opposed to hiring staff to do things.
