After reading his 1999 book High Velocity Leadership , we invited Brian to guest speak about the Mars Pathfinder project, and he soon he became a regular fixture in the University of Toyota’s “lean” leadership curriculum. It was an annual event, affectionately referred to as the Great Egg-Drop Challenge.

The two points of ambiguity that remain are (a) the exact timing of the event over the next couple of years—but predicted to occur within our lifetimes and (b) the societal reaction to the event. The number of disruptions would increase, exponentially. Kurzweil views the Singularity as a foregone conclusion.

However, innovation labs and teams were never (or at least rarely) going to create breakthroughs or disruptive innovations. The future of successful innovation labs is NOT to take on the responsibility of invention or figuring out new business models that will disrupt their industry. The “disruptive innovation” era is over.

Disruptive innovations are coming from startups – Telsa for automobiles, Uber for taxis, Airbnb for hotel rentals, Netflix for video rentals and Facebook for media. Over the last decade, Intel missed two important disruptive trends.

By dedicating resources to these horizons, organisations can future-proof their businesses and stay ahead of industry disruptions.

A basic tenet of running lean is validating a product or feature ideally without having to build it first. In my book, Running Lean , I detailed several customer interviewing (Problem Interviews) and observation techniques for doing this. This makes complete sense when you look at every product or feature as its own customer factory.

But incumbents would be willing to make changes if a new technology proves to be truly disruptive and the long-term benefits are worth it. Most companies will continue to favor a “safer” approach in the time ahead, even while facing disruption. This combination of shifts implies some mandatory changes for companies.
