Hey! Freebookson 15inno.com!
Faster pace, shrinking window of opportunity,
less time for cash cows


Open innovation and biz model innovation are
key for becoming competitively unpredictable!


Companies must embrace experimentation
– and the failures that come along with it!
Small failures are accepted, but not big ones:
                     47 %

        Failure is not accepted here:
                     7%

  More than half of the companies do not
 recognize failure as an inherent part of an
            innovation culture!
“Two types of failure:

- honorable failure is where an honest attempt
 at something new or different has been tried
              unsuccessfully and

  - incompetent failure where people fail for
   lack of effort or competence in standard
                   operations.”


                                     Credit: Paul Sloane
“A mistake is when you do something wrong,
even though you knew the right way to do it.

Failure is when you are trying something new,
  and you don’t know ahead of time how to
              make it successful.




                                   Credit: Jamie Notter
Developing a culture that is constructive about
     failure requires a new vocabulary.

                 Smartfailing

When an organization embraces smartfailing,
  it de-stigmatizes failure internally and uses
failure as an opportunity to learn and to find a
                 better course.
System failure (collapse of communism)

System component failure (stock market crash)

Major firm failure (Enron going out of business)

Start-up failure (Pets.com going out of business)

Product failure (New Coke tanking)

Idea failure (Apple Navigator protype, no launch

The failure to anticipate / execute on…

…markets and technologies

…platforms for bringing innovation to market

…how companies innovate

External change is faster than internal change!
You win or lose in these pockets of opportunity!
Don’t mess up like Intuit!


Persistency / consistency is key…

…for becoming preferred partner of choice
Don’t make your platform too complicated!
Can Medtronic become OI leader in medtech?
Can P&G make next leap with experimentation?
They are building the platforms!
There are no quick fixes because the top
executives that got us into this mess are not
         ready to lead us out of it!
Too much focus on products, technology

Unrealistic expectations on time, resources

Lack of resources in budget, people, infrastrucure

Silo rather than collaborative approaches

Poorly defined innovation strategy (if any)
Identify reasons, create learning process!

Go beyond products and technologies!

Be open – more communication, new terms!

Reward learning behaviors!

Educate up and down on innovation!
The Lean Startup approach relies on validated
    learning, scientific experimentation, and
 iterative product releases to shorten product
 development cycles, measure progress, and
       gain valuable customer feedback.

      Fail fast, fail often and fail cheap!
Stage 1: Shock and Surprise

Stage 2: Denial

Stage 3: Anger and Blame

Stage 4: Depression

Stage 5: Acceptance

Stage 6: Insights and Change


                               Credit: Steve Blank
Six stages of failure and redemption

Don’t get stuck in 2, 3 or 4 – move forward

Don’t skip acceptance of your role

Get to insights to change behavior…

…commit to challenge / do different next time


                                       Credit: Steve Blank
