THE INNOVATOR’S METHOD
Reading:
•IBM 1100100 and counting
•Competition is for Losers
•Understanding the Job Clayton Christensen,
professor at Harvard Business School talks
about the job to be done
•The Innovator´s Method
...a kind of shadow future, 

hovering on the edges of 

the present state of things, 

a map of all the ways in 

which the present can 

reinvent itself
Steven Johnson

Why is IBM still alive and
thriving after so long, in an
industry characterised
perhaps more than any other
by innovation and change?

Platform Shifts
1. Maintain connection to customers
2. Less hierarchical and more open
3. Business relevant research
4. Globally integrated
5. Financial planning – get out of
commoditized business

Definition of Losers
PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT
GOOD ENOUGH
OR

PEOPLE JUST DOING
THE WRONG THING?
"All happy companies are different
because they found something
unique to do, all unhappy
companies are alike, because they
failed to escape the sameness that
is competition."

The Nature of Progress
Looking for Opportunities
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
“Good-enough” can be great
Do what competitors won’t
Looking for Opportunities
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Removes barriers that constrain
the ability to consume
Overshooting customers needs
Hidden beauty in undesirable or
invisible markets
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Example: photography
Kodak’s Brownie 

Camera
Skill
Skill Example: Computers
Apple’s iPad
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Wealth Example: Computing
The Personal
Computer
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Access Example: Telephony
Mobile phones
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Access Example: Niche movies
Youtube Lego

Star wars
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Time Example: Auction
Ebay auction
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
1. Creating a Computer Game for mobile
What is the barrier for these:
4. Health Care
5. University level education
2. Making an Music Album
3. Publishing a Novel
6. Rent your house
Remove barriers that constrain the ability to
consume
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Make the complicated simple
Don’t let the mainstream derail you
Innovate, don’t force
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Nintendo Wii
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Gaming for the family
Portable music players
disrupted by Apple, 2001
1000 songs in you pocket!
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
Mobile phone, 2007
Apple reinvents the phone
Targeting overshot customers or
non-consumption
“Good-enough” can be great
Sustainable innovations compete
on getting better
Disruptive innovations compete
on doing it differently
“Good-enough” can be great
Netflix
Subscribe, no late fees
Do what competitors won’t
Unattractive or uninteresting
market
Does not seek head-on collision
with established competitors
Personal Computers
Do what competitors won’t
CRM as a Service

THE INNOVATOR’S METHOD
The Innovation Crisis: Unprecedented Uncertainty
L10 The Innovator's Method
L10 The Innovator's Method
Net Promoter Score
How likely are you, on a scale of 0 (not at all likely) to 10
(extremely likely), to recommend this product or service to a
colleague or friend?
A product’s NPS is the percentage of promoters (those who
score themselves 9 or 10) minus the percentage of detractors
(scores 0–6).
Net promoter score = % promoters minus % detractors
Design for Delight
Most successful companies didn’t just off er products that were
easier to use; they off ered products that delighted customers.
• Gain deep customer empathy

Understand customers better than they understand themselves
• Go broad to go narrow

Generate lots of solutions before borrowing the list
• Experiment rapidly with customers

Seek feedback early and often
Innovator’s Method
Four steps to solve high- uncertainty problems and turn
insight into a successful innovation
Innovator’s Method
Step 1. Insight: savor surprises
Step 2. Problem: discover the job-to-be-done
Step 3. Solution: prototype the minimum 

awesome product
Step 4. Business model: validate the 

go-to-market strategy
Leverage the behaviors, questioning, observing,
networking, and experimenting — to search broadly for
insights about problems worth solving.
Innovator’s Method
Step 1. Insight: savor surprises
What problem is nobody solving?
L10 The Innovator's Method
Problem: What to Wear
L10 The Innovator's Method
Rather than starting with solutions, start by exploring the
customers’ need or problem— the functional, social, and
emotional job-to-be- done— to be sure you’re going after a
problem worth solving.
Innovator’s Method
Step 2. Problem: discover the job-to-be-done
What is the customer really buying?
People don’t want to buy a quarter-inch drill. 

They want a quarter-inch hole.
Job to be Done
L10 The Innovator's Method
Instead of developing full-scale products, leverage
theoretical and virtual prototypes of multiple solution
dimensions. Then iterate on each solution to develop a
minimum viable prototype and eventually a minimum
awesome product.
Innovator’s Method
Step 3. Solution: prototype the minimum 

awesome product
Once you’ve nailed the solution, you’re ready to validate
the other components of the business model, including the
pricing strategy, the customer acquisition strategy, and the
cost structure strategy.
Innovator’s Method
Step 4. Business model: validate the 

go-to-market strategy.
