

How to adopt and be in the Digital Disruption


Adopt a Digital Disruption mindset



Behave like a Digital Disruptor



Disrupt yourself

Think differently


Digital disruption is a mindset that ultimate
leads to a way of behavior



Need to change the approach of companies


Ex: From “make products” to “give to
people”

Main idea: give to people something they really want?
What is inside this new mindset?


A tendency to use and create free digital tools:




Nearly Free





Totally free

Essentially free

Aggressive exploitation of digital platforms
(Apple, Amazon, Google)


Ex: Lose it!



A perpetual relationship with clients



Treat failure as feedbacks to improve
What is inside this new mindset?


The customer is ultimately in charge of your
strategy



Disagree with the Maslow’s hierarchy



The 4 fundamental humans needs:

Comfort

Variety

Connection

Uniqueness
How to behave as a Digital Disruptor ?


Need to apply the theory of innovating adjacent possible
1.

Seek the adjacent possible

2.

Depend on convergent adjacencies

3.

Persist in the paths of innovation

 The preference to innovate through rapid, focused pursuit
of adjacent consumer benefits


Give to your customer total product experiences


Apply his

CBSP checklist:

Consumer: What your target really needs ?
Benefits : What is the next thing that customer needs ?
Strategy : Identity measureable success
Product : Think about our innovation in our product
Methodology to Digital Disruption


Analyze 3 things in your company: Energy, Skills and
Policies



Disrupt your process to digitally disrupt your product
experience (ex: Headband Zeo)



3 Questions: HOW, WHO, WHAT

How can we disrupt ourselves?
①

Establish Digital Disruption as C-level priority

②

Identify the barriers between departments in the
company

③

Design small innovation teams to identify disruptive
opportunities

④

Make all indirect competition explicit and learn from it
Methodology to Digital Disruption


3 Questions: HOW, WHO, WHAT

Who do we need to track? 1st Consumer
①

Identify the fundamental customer needs you meet or
should meet

②

Put yourself in your customer’ shoes and ask what benefit
they want next

③

Construct a list of adjacencies possibilities for your
customer then identify that are possibilities for your
companies.



let the customer’s needs and benefits be your guidance
(use the CBSP model)

3 Questions: HOW, WHO, WHAT

What our new product experience looks like?

②

Use totally, nearly or essentially free digital tools

③

Partner promiscuously

④

Measure differently: the ROD

⑤

Accept and expect failure
The next Disruption?
The power of one

The disposable company: need to rethink the firm, need to be
create on a particular task defined by its collaborates and it will be
always on an open market, open to new investment at any time.

Regulation becomes obsolete
