5. Humanising
Roles are changing
Working patterns is changing
Interaction is changing
People will have to be;
Creative instigators/directors
Technical overseers
Moderators, checking things are fine
Real voices - as businesses become computing so the value of a human voice will rise

9. Innovation in businesses has many of the characteristics
of CAS
The results are often unpredictable and certainties, that
people built their routines on, disappear which really stresses
people.
Except…
Research indicates that the time of stress is the most
innovative time.
Research says that businesses should learn to embrace this
time

10. Sensing and Navigating a Disruption
Look backward, not forward.
Measure the evolution of complexity in the space by analyzing
the distribution of product sizes in terms of the number of unique
components in products.
If complexity is low and stable, it’s an indication that the space is
still in its infancy. Here, choose an impatient strategy.
If complexity is high, then the space is maturing and a patient
strategy will be the best approach.
12. Approach
Adopt or develop components that enable you to bring
relatively simple products to market quickly.
An MVP approach is not always viable. If your space implies
that a patient strategy is more appropriate, your objective is to
maximize future innovation options.
13. 1. Reframe innovation as an information-
enabled search process.
2. Collect information on components
and innovations to characterize the
space.
3. Analyze the maturity of the game, and
adapt your strategy accordingly.
4. Innovate the game of innovation itself
through an information advantage.
5. Respond to or create disruption by
adapting your managerial approach.

14. A disruption always requires innovators to reset
their innovation strategy and to return to an
impatient approach.
Progress and prosperity will depend
increasingly on solving hard problems that require
less direct and more patient strategies.
