If your company has reached a growth plateau, margins are under pressure, you've lost your innovative edge, this is a great book for you. This presentation summarizes some of the key points about core vs. context, types of innovation, resource extraction and redeployment, organizational alignment, and more. Hope this is helpful as an overview, Geoffrey Moore's book is the best resource.
The Darwinian struggle of business keeps getting more brutal as competitive advantage gaps get narrower and narrower. Anything you invent today will soon be copied by someone else—probably better and cheaper.
Many companies thrive during the early stages of their life cycle, only to fall slack during periods of inertia and die out while others surge ahead. But as Geoffrey Moore shows, some notable companies have figured out how to deal with Darwin in their mature years—making changes on the fly while fending off challenges from every quarter.
Geoffrey Moore, Managing Director, TCG Advisors; Venture Partner, Mohr Davidow Ventures presented at the Premier Business Leadership Series 2010 - http://www.sas.com/theserieshk.
The challenges in the current economy are to invest in innovation projects that pay back in the short term and pay off in the long term – and to fund these projects by extracting resources from existing operations. Drawing on his experience as a venture capitalist as well as research for his recent book Dealing with Darwin: How Great Companies Innovate at Every Phase of Their Evolution, Geoffrey Moore will describe how organisations large and small can determine their own fates at a time when many of their competitors are bemoaning theirs.

Geoffrey Moore is an author, speaker, and advisor who splits his consulting time between start-up companies in the Mohr Davidow portfolio and established high-tech enterprises, most recently including Salesforce, Microsoft, Intel, Box, Aruba, Cognizant, and Rackspace.
Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. His first book, Crossing the Chasm, focuses on the challenges start-up companies transitioning from early adopting to mainstream customers. It has sold more than a million copies, and its third edition has been revised such that the majority of its examples and case studies reference companies come to prominence from the past decade. Moore’s most recent work, Escape Velocity, addresses the challenge large enterprises face when they seek to add a new line of business to their established portfolio. It has been the basis of much of his recent consulting.
Irish by heritage, Moore has yet to meet a microphone he didn’t like and gives between 50 and 80 speeches a year. One theme that has received a lot of attention recently is the transition in enterprise IT investment focus from Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement. This is driving the deployment of a new cloud infrastructure to complement the legacy client-server stack, creating massive markets for a next generation of tech industry leaders.
Moore has a bachelors in American literature from Stanford University and a PhD in English literature from the University of Washington. After teaching English for four years at Olivet College, he came back to the Bay Area with his wife and family and began a career in high tech as a training specialist. Over time he transitioned first into sales and then into marketing, finally finding his niche in marketing consulting, working first at Regis McKenna Inc, then with the three firms he helped found: The Chasm Group, Chasm Institute, and TCG Advisors. Today he is chairman emeritus of all three.

Organisational Best Practices of Startup Studios Tobi Gutmann
Based upon two reserach papers, I share some high-level organisational best practices of startup studios (also called company builders, venture studios, startup foundry, etc.)
My invited talk at SAP Startup Studio on Aug 11. The talk was part of the Inspire Us series at the startup studio and was well attended by SAP employees as well as the startups.
Speaker: Alain le Loux MSc. MBA ( EIT DIgital)

- From start-up to scale-up
- Possibilities to do business in other countries
- Fast growth strategies
Maximizing Business Success Through Organizational AgilityNick Born
Agile organizations look across the multiple dimensions of organization structure, processes, talent, leadership, and culture and embed flexibility in each. Through a system of HR practices and an integrated foundation of management practices, agile organizations are able to consistently respond to environmental trends and disruptions, move closer to the speed of ideas, and seize market opportunities. These collective capabilities drive sustained organizational performance. In this study, CAHRS Research Assistants Nicholas Born, Kasey Kovack and Matt Olson discuss the results of their research on organizational and HR agility. They share specific examples as they relate to:
• Key catalysts for organizational agility
• Obstacles to agility and knowledge sharing
• HR’s role in driving the right people outcomes to support the organizational culture, human capital, and knowledge exchange opportunities that support organizational agility
• What specific talent management and HR practices drive organizational agility
• Opportunities to assess impact of organizational agility
Linda rising - the power of an agile mindsetMagneta AI
I‘ve wondered for some time whether much of Agile’s success was the result of the placebo effect, that is, good things happened because we believed they would.
The placebo effect is a startling reminder of the power our minds have over our perceived reality. Now cognitive scientists tell us that this is only a small part of what our minds can do.
Research has identified what I like to call «an agile mindset», an attitude that equates failure and problems with opportunities for learning, a belief that we can all improve over time, that our abilities are not fixed but evolve with effort.
What’s surprising about this research is the impact of an agile mindset on creativity and innovation, estimation, and collaboration in and out of the workplace.
I’ll relate what’s known about this mindset and share some practical suggestions that can help all of us become even more agile.
This presentation provides a framework for product managers and C-level executives to discuss and prioritise their product investments. Maintaining a practical focus, it condenses highlights from McKinsey's three horizons model and more recent successors developed by academics at Wharton and MIT.

See slide 13 for a description of Identity 2.0, and BYOI (Bring Your Own Identity) provided by Janrain Engage: www.janrain.com
Investor and author Geoffrey Moore ("Crossing the Chasm") presented this slide deck at Demo, September 14, 2011, in Santa Clara. It summarizes the ideas in his new book, "Escape Velocity."
Do you have the next big commercial idea that will disrupt the ICT industry and conquer the world? Are you looking for money for your start-up, without giving up equity? Do you want to find out what Open Disruptive Innovation, FI-WARE or COSME mean? Compared to traditional investors from the private sector, EU funding provides support with minimal strings attached and does not require Entrepreneurs to surrender any ownership of their idea or shares of their start-up. This presentation was part of the workshops sessions in ID-GC 2014 event held in Athens Concert Hall (15 Novermber 2014).
Lessons and insights gained from the transistion from apartheid to democracy in South Africa - and it's applicability to agile software development. This was presented at the Agile Africa conference in August 2013.
Slides from my talk at Agile Goa, 2013 where I spoke about the roots of agile and how many of the practices that we use in Lean/ Agile Software development have evolved from Toyota Production Systems.
Product innovation is not about coming up with more ideas. It's about creating an environment where it is safe to fail. Where ideas can be tested cheaply and quickly. In this presentation, Ed will describe simple ways that teams, leaders and organizations can make testing new ideas cheap stolen from Lean Startup, Design Thinking and Continuous Delivery.
Look at the value of a programming language such as JS and how it influences the way we express and organise our thoughts. At same time, express the value design over language.
A lot has been said about Kanban and how these can be implemented in Software development, but the learning remains superficial till we go deep down to its roots to understand the core underlying practices and principles and why/how these practices evolved over a period of time. Infact the roots of most of the Agile methods can be traced back to Lean/Toyota Production Systems, a set of practices and techniques used by Toyota to build great set of cars with limited amount of resources. Even though building software is much different than building a car, there are many lessons and practices that can be learnt and applied nonetheless.
In these slides, I have shared some of the best practices/concepts that originated at Toyota for building "world-class" cars and discuss how each of these can be applied to software development.
Scaling Scrum hurts. There are coordination challenges, technical challenges, and communication challenges. But there are some patterns you can use to overcome these pains. This is an experience report from a 30+ person 5 team scaled Scrum project. It gives you practical tips on what to try if you experience any of the pains we did when we scaled Scrum.
Product innovation is not about coming up with more ideas. It's about creating an environment where it is safe to fail - both quickly and cheaply. In this talk, Ed will share stories of leaders who have successfully created these environments, common obstacles that get in our way and a some simple techniques we can try to overcome these obstacles. These include how to de-stigmatize failure by celebrating it, how to have difficult conversations with your peers, and how to make testing ideas cheap and safe with continuous delivery, customer interviews and prototype testing.

Building a Complete View Across the Customer Experience on Oracle BICSShiv Bharti
Many organizations today are using a Modern Business Intelligence Platform or Big Data to eliminate Customer Blind Spots. When most firms refer to Big Data, they are not necessarily using “BIG” data, the term is used interchangeably with Analytics by most of our Customers.
Organizations today are increasingly relying on Data to make strategic decisions. Marketing Departments are using Predictive analytics to identify the Prospects or segments that will give their firms the most “lift” and thus highest ROI.
What are Customer Blind Spots?
Gaps in your view of the customer relationship across time
No formal social media listening data
Lack of cross-device identity
Inability for organizations to deliver personalized customer experiences
Inability to apply predictive analytics to customer behavior to optimize products and services
What are the Challenges to eliminate blind spots?
Disparate Data sources
Multiple Sources of the truth
Growth in Data Volumes
Data Migration Challenges
Fundamental Considerations for a Customer 360 project
Customer 360 project should focus on making substantial improvements in 5 key areas: Improve data quality, create Linkages across our various systems, centralize disparate information, transform the data to enable action and insights, and streamline the manner in which data is accessed and available.
Each pillar contains a stream of work broken into parallel paths to accelerate the rollout and adoption of the platform.
If you’re attending @Oracleopenworld (#oow16) and are considering a project to build a Customer 360-degree view by eliminating Customer Blind spots, please join us for our session to learn more on this subject including a customer case study. We look forward to a great session and stimulating conversations.

Modern Services Marketing Session at TSIA/TSW 2017 San DiegoFred Isbell
Digital transformation and innovations including cloud, social media, and Big Data/analytics have redefined services marketing -- no one debates that. The modern services marketer must both combine art and science to meet changing needs of the services marketplace, including digital technologies, thought leadership and storytelling, and analytics for key insights. We addressed the skills of a successful modern services marketer, technology as a key enabler to transformation and innovation, and address key best practices in this session given at the TSIA Technology Services World (TSW) 2017 event in San Diego CA.
Through engagement and discussion with digital industrial leaders, Wilbury Stratton has summarised how the following three concept-to-shelf processes define the talent required by the organisation, and therefore the most effective resourcing strategy.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Dealing with Darwin
1. Dealing with Darwin
by Geoffrey Moore
“How To” Guide for Companies in Transition
Summary by Brian Kissel
https://www.linkedin.com/in/briankkissel
2. Overview
• Core & Context
• Business Architectures
• Market Stages
• Innovation
– 3 Objectives
– Challenges
– Models
• Innovation in Growth & Mature Markets
• The Innovation Cycle
• Resource Extraction
• The Process for Your Company
3. The Role of Core & Context
Core
• Innovation that creates differentiation leading to customer preference during
purchase
• Combats commoditization and margin compression
Context
• Everything else, not a source of differentiation
• What was once core becomes context over time
• Can be a source of business and management inertia
Goal of Separating Core from Context
• Extract resources from Context to invest in Core
4. Focusing on Core
• Declare Strategy for Differentiation
– Establishes Core
– Some legacy Core becomes Context
– Context can become “the breeding ground for inertia” and risk-averse
behavior can prevail
• Redeploy Resources from Context to Core
– Reengineer current workload to consume fewer resources and less top talent
– Standardization replaces differentiation as primary focus
– Redeploy workforce, consistent with its talents, to meet needs of next
generation of Core
6. Overview
• Core & Context
• Business Architectures
• Market Stages
• Innovation
– 3 Objectives
– Challenges
– Models
• Innovation in Growth & Mature Markets
• The Innovation Cycle
• Resource Extraction
• The Process for Your Company
7. 2 Basic Business Architectures
Volume Operations
• Example: Consumer transaction-focused like Dell
Complex Systems
• Example: Enterprise commerce-focused like IBM
Company Challenge
• How to support both models in the same company and in some cases at
the same customer?
8. Complex Systems vs. Volume Operations
Value Chain
Element
Complex
Systems
Volume
Operations
Research Qualitative Scenarios Quantitative Analytics
Design Integration of Modules Modules That Integrate
Source At the Margin At the Mean
Manufacture Adaptive Methodologies Deterministic Processes
Market Value Chain Orchestration Branding and Promotion
Sell High-Touch Persuasion Low-Touch Distribution
Service Open-ended Consultations Close-ended Transactions
9. Volume Operations
Characteristics
• High volume, low cost
• Offer-enabling technology
• Optimized for price, availability, and selection
• Economies of scale
• Low touch
• Don’t really “sell,” but enable customers to “buy”
10. Complex Systems
Characteristics
• Organized around the customer
• Solution sales
• Consulting and integration services
• Application specific templates
• Modular building blocks coupled with integration platform
11. Overview
• Core & Context
• Business Architectures
• Market Stages
• Innovation
– 3 Objectives
– Challenges
– Models
• Innovation in Growth & Mature Markets
• The Innovation Cycle
• Resource Extraction
• The Process for Your Company
12. Market Stages
Early
• Technology adoption cycle
Growth
• >10% revenue growth with healthy margins
• Entire market is expanding
Mature
• Growth from selling more to existing customers or taking market share from
competition
Declining
• Even market leaders seeing no/low growth and declining margins
• Ripe for technological or business model innovation
End of Life
• Incumbents rendered obsolete by innovative alternatives
• Possible “long tail” opportunity to harvest brand, distribution channel, and/or
customer relationships
13. Overview
• Core & Context
• Business Architectures
• Market Stages
• Innovation
– 3 Objectives
– Challenges
– Models
• Innovation in Growth & Mature Markets
• The Innovation Cycle
• Resource Extraction
• The Process for Your Company
14. 3 Objectives of Innovation
Differentiation
• Must be bold enough that, if it wins, achieves separation
Neutralization
• Just enough to undermine competitor
Productivity
• Business Process Re-engineering & Outsourcing
• Free up resources from Context for Core
Waste
• Don’t go far enough on Differentiation
• Go too far on Neutralization
• “Nice to have” instead of “need to have”
15. 2 Typical Challenges to Innovation
Risk Reduction Mentality
• Shun bold actions that jeopardize existing assets & relationships
• Remain focused on Context, not Core
Lack of Corporate Alignment
• Innovation is highly decentralized
• Proceeds on many fronts, in multiple directions
• No amplifying affects
• Remedy is prioritization and focus across the company
16. 4 Innovation Models
Product Leadership
• Best for growth markets
• Heavy R&D
• #1 priority is market share, #2 is profits
Customer Intimacy
• Good for mature markets
• Lower return on product innovation
Operational Excellence
• Good for mature markets with few other sources of differentiation
• #1 priority is cost, #2 is time to market & speed of adaptation
Category Renewal
• Market is in decline
• Harvest while reinvesting in new markets
• Acquisitions most helpful here
17. Product Leadership Innovation
Disruption
New technology (complex system) or business model (volume operation)
New offer and market, highest risk and reward
Typically a big price/performance advantage or disruptive business model that
destabilizes established markets
i.e. digital photography, search engine marketing
Application /
Solution
New markets for existing products
Complex system: vertical marketing, whole product solution, alliances
Volume operations: target demographic vs. vertical markets
i.e. fault tolerant computers to run ATMs, Mac for desktop publishing, document
management systems for drug approvals, Blackberry
Product
Focus on features and function
i.e. hybrid cars, cameras in cell phones, wireless laptops
Platform
Layer to mask legacy complexity
VAR partners often helpful
i.e. DOS and Intel 8086 become platform for PCs
18. Customer Intimacy Innovation
Line Extension
Existing products to new customers or new products to existing customers
i.e. minivan, SUV, laptop, running shoe
Enhancement
Improve existing products in existing markets
i.e. auto navigation, cherry coke, teflon frying pans
Marketing
Out-sell, not out-product competition
i.e. viral marketing, product placements, P2P marketing, Mac store
Experiential
Most relevant in commoditized consumer markets
i.e. Starbucks, business hotels that remember your preferences, etc.
19. Operational Excellence Innovation
Value Engineering
Extract cost from materials and manufacturing
i.e. substitute standard for custom parts, pre-integrated subsystems
Integration
Reduce maintenance cost of complex systems
i.e. mutual funds, data center management SW, all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner
Process
Remove non-value added steps from the process
i.e. WalMart vendor managed inventory, Dell direct sales model, Toyota kanban
manufacturing process
Value Migration
Redirect business model away from commoditized elements
i.e. razors to razor blades, printers to ink cartridges, answering machines to voicemail
20. Renewal Innovation
Organic
Solve new problems for existing customers
i.e. IBM from HW to e-commerce enablement
Acquisition
Buy new capability or roll into strategic partner
i.e. BEA buying WebLogic, Lotus selling itself to IBM

24. Innovation in Growth Markets
Product
New Existing
Market
New Disruptive Application
Existing Product Platform
“If you are innovating in a growth market, you must focus on one, and only
one, innovation type based on…”
– Stage in technology adoption lifecycle
– Position of competitors
– What you excel at
25. Innovation in Growth Markets
Disruptive
Application
Product
Platform
• Enterprise: Genentech (recombinant DNA)
• Consumer: Skype (VOIP)
• Enterprise: Landmark (3-D seismic interpretation)
• Consumer: Amazon (Internet retailing)
• Enterprise: Juniper Networks (Internet routers)
• Consumer: Cuisinart (food processors)
• Enterprise: Oracle (relational databases)
• Consumer: Sony (game machines)
Return on innovation requires differentiation
All these companies achieved separation from their competition
26. Growth Markets: Disruption (New Product, New Market)
Complex Systems
Must wrap discontinuous technology in a blanket of services that fulfill
promise of competitive advantage
May require partners
i.e. Oracle HW independent DBs, Apple/Aldus/Adobe for desktop
publishing
Volume Operations
Focus on disruptive business model, not technology
Often displace intermediaries
i.e. Charles Schwab, Federal Express, eBay, Southwest Airlines
27. Growth Markets: Application (Existing Product, New Market)
Complex Systems
Leverage vertical marketing, whole-product management, and alliance
marketing
May require partners
i.e. Sun dominating financial services, SGI dominating graphics, Silicon Valley
Bank dominating VC-backed companies
Volume Operations
Not typically done
Usually pursue line-extension & enhancements
Some exception when you can focus on demographic segments that leverage
existing sales, marketing, and support infrastructure
i.e. RIM BlackBerry, Nintendo GameBoy
28. Growth Markets: Product (New Product, Existing Market)
Complex Systems
Hard to achieve
Be confident there is a “killer app”
Over-deliver in only one or two critical dimensions that drive demand, just good enough
in the others
Need end-to-end ecosystem capability – product, sales, support, partners, etc.
i.e. Applied Materials (integrated multi-step wafer fab), EMC (platform independent
storage)
Volume Operations
R&D creates genuine product breakthrough
Marketing drives home a single game-changing claim
Capacity can ramp quickly to meet demand
i.e. Google, Pampers, Gatorade
29. Growth Market: Platform (Existing Product, Existing Market)
Complex Systems
Drive product ubiquity
• Must have proprietary technology and high switching costs
Open up the platform to partners
• SOA, modularization, etc.
• Provide partners access to customers and technologies that would be
difficult/costly for them to pursue alone
i.e. Juniper Networks, EMC, SAP
Volume Operations
Declare platform goal from birth
Achieve ubiquity with high switching costs
• Adobe has it, Netscape didn’t
31. Innovation in Mature Markets
Characteristics
– Indefinitely elastic middle
– Hierarchy of established vendors becomes more entrenched
– Optimize existing customers, markets, products, & processes
– ROI is lower, but risks are too
Approaches
– Volume Operations: Customer Intimacy to enhance customer loyalty while
retaining operational excellence
– Complex Systems: Operational Excellence focusing on productivity, maintenance,
and total cost of ownership
32. Mature Market: Customer Intimacy For Volume Operations
Line Extensions
First step in filling up fractal space
Generally highest risk-adjusted ROI
Only works if you have a strong brand
Tylenol, AmEx, People Magazine, Toyota/Lexus
Product
Enhancements
Focus on justifying premium pricing
Differentiation, not neutralization
Consider McGrath & MacMillan Consumption Chain exercise
Pampers, Swatch Watch, Mont Blanc, Barbie
Marketing Programs Risk is not going far enough
If you're not going to lead with this, only invest to meet threshold needs
Nike, Avon, Apple
Customer
Experience
Underlying offer is commoditized, experience is replicable
Design processes from the customer back, not operations out
Starbucks, Disneyland, Cirque de Soleil, AOL, Progressive Insurance
33. Mature Market: Operational Excellence For Complex Systems
Value
Engineering
Disaggregate system into modules, cost reduce each module
Emphasis on specialization and outsourcing
TSMC, Infosys
Integration Simplifying architectures and relationships
Focus on parts of value chain that are perceived as burdensome costs by the
customer
Most compelling when you have a significant installed base
SAP, IBM, Intel
Process
Process insight and innovation is key
Need to believe you can establish competitive advantage in this domain
Celera (human genome), BP, Bandag (retreads), Nucore
Value Migration Generally highest risk-adjusted ROI
Razor/razor blade, Inkjet cartridge model
Computer Associates, IBM, GMAC, Affymetrix
35. Consumption Chain: MacMillan & McGrath
• Key Questions
1. How do people become aware of their need for your product or service?
2. How do consumers find your offering?
3. How do consumers make their final selection?
4. How do customers order and purchase your product or service?
5. What happens when your product or service is delivered?
6. How is your product installed?

11. What do customers need help with when they use your product?
12. What about returns and exchanges?
13. How is your product repaired or serviced?
14. What happens when your product is disposed of or no longer used?
• Uncover opportunities to:
1. Improve on your product
2. Add to your product line
3. Add a disposal or recycling service for which the customers will pay for or be alerted to restock your product
4. Solve problems before they arise
5. Discover new places to find customers
6. Redesign your product
7. Overcome objections
8. Improve service
9. Add service for your product
10. Rewrite a more attractive guarantee which may attract more customers

• Innovation in Growth & Mature Markets
• The Innovation Cycle
• Resource Extraction
• The Process for Your Company
38. Understanding Innovation Cycle
• Every opportunity has a lifecycle
• Need to manage organization and processes
accordingly
• Put top talent in the right roles
• Extract, re-train, and redeploy
Resource-Recycling Zones
39. Understanding Innovation Cycle
Invention Zone
– Entrepreneurs who make things happen
– Driven by idealistic vision but are also exceedingly pragmatic
– Quick, self-confident, focused
Deployment Zone
– Harden programs and processes for mission-critical deployment
– Gifted program managers lead cross functional teams
– Set expectations, define deliverables, metrics, accountability, measuring progress
– Generally overkill for Context work, but they and the organization are reluctant to
redeploy themselves
Optimization Zone
– Focused on continuous improvement in productivity and quality
– Led by process optimizers, using 5 levers
– Evangelists of continuous improvement across and between all functions
– Need to be rewarded for freeing up resources to reinvest in Core
40. Managing Transitions (Handoffs)
Invention to Deployment (Handoff #1)
– Entrepreneurs want to hand off too early, Deployers want to take
it late
– Hold Entrepreneurs accountable for a successful transition to
deployment
– Program managers need to free up resources to “onboard” next
generation innovation
Deployment to Optimization (Handoff #2)
– Program manager wants to hold on too long
– Optimization manager needs to have executive level support to
begin taking over mission critical programs once they have
transitioned from Core to Context
– Freed-up resources need to be re-cycled back into Core Innovation
deployment

42. 5 Levers of Resource Extraction
Goal: Become Radically More Productive
1. Centralize
a) Ops under single authority to reduce overhead and single decision making to
manage risk
2. Standardize
a) Reduce variety and variability of processes delivering similar outputs
3. Modularize
a) Deconstruct the system into component subsystems and standardize interfaces
4. Optimize
a) Eliminate redundant steps, automate standard sequences, streamline, substitute
lower cost resources, instrument the process for monitoring and control
5. Outsource
a) Drive processes out of the enterprise entirely to reduce overhead, variabilize
costs, and minimize future investment
b) Incorporate monitoring systems into SLAs
43. From Context to Core: Recognizing The Challenges
• Majority of revenues from markets that are mission-critical, but not Core
– Resources should be reduced and reapplied to mission critical core
– Manage such that established businesses produce more revenues with fewer
resources
– Align career progression and financial incentives accordingly
• Warning Signs
– Company’s flagship products become over-featured
– Over-funding breeds more Context, accelerating the decline into inertial stasis (risk
aversion, resource consumption)
• Staff functions
– Staff functions are not necessarily Context
– Given definitions of Core, how can IT, finance, accounting, legal, customer support,
etc. contribute to differentiation

• The Process for Your Company
45. Managing Innovation
1. Socialize the Idea
a) Should be introduced by an outsider
b) Assess relevancy and value give company’s current situation
2. Analyze the Portfolio
a) Assess w.r.t. product line maturity, historical sources of innovation and differentiation, performance
relative to competition, motivations for change
b) Select one or more categories to target for innovation
3. Analyze the Target Category
a) Overall, complex system vs. volume operations, company vs. competition
b) Competitive strategies and execution vs. company
c) If change is worth considering, identify the most relevant & attractive vectors (14)
4. Reduce the Number of Innovation Types Under Consideration
a) Eliminate least attractive: inconsistent w/ category maturity, preempted by competition, poor fit w/ core
competencies
b) Reduce to top 3 contenders
5. Develop Attractive Options
a) Executive sponsor for each approach, form “Darwin Teams”
b) Characterize and rank each approach
c) Perform financial analysis on each approach
6. Select a Prime Innovation Vector
a) Executive sponsors select one innovation program for each category
7. Engage the Entire Organization
a) CEO declares the “Core,” extract resources from Context to focus on Core
46. 7 Step Process
1. Core/Context analysis
a) Complex Systems: By product category, customer industry, and geography
b) Volume Operations: By product category, consumer demographics, and sales channel
2. Resource allocation analysis
a) Top performers allocated to invention, deployment, and optimization
3. Set a more ambitious agenda
a) Identify one or more opportunities for intensified attention
b) Assign (or hire) top performers to drive programs
c) Target key “Context” opportunities for resource extraction and assign top performers
4. Plan your moves as a team
a) Extracting resources from context to repurpose for core is organizationally difficult, need high level buy-in
and support
5. Focus on time to market
a) Create proper sense of urgency, test assumptions that limit rate of progress
6. Get the gears moving
a) Free up top performing leaders from “Context” to assign to “Core”
b) Assign optimizers to free up resources from “Context”
c) Manage Inventors more closely with more aggressive goals
7. Keep the gears moving
a) Continue the cycle of freeing resources from “Context” to invest in “Core”
