DESCRIPTION
An Innovations paradigm
Citation preview
A /pd Manifesto
This is about how to create growth in business.
Financial markets relentlessly pressure executives to grow and keep growing faster and faster.
Is it possible to succeed with this mandate ??
GROWTH IN BUSINESS IS INNOVATIONS
A /pd Manifesto
Inside the innovations box
We cannot say, just by looking at the results of the process, whether the process that created those results is capable of generating predictable
outputs.
We must understand the process first!
A /pd Manifesto
The Objective Lesson
1,2,3,4,5,6
75,28,41,26,38,64
What’s the next two digits ??
A /pd Manifesto
Looks Predictable!
1,2,3,4,5,6
The next numbers should be 7 and 8.
A /pd Manifesto
Looks un-predictableA very postcard like look….!!
75,28,41,26,38,64….2, 122 !!!
If you were following Michigan’s upper Peninsula, Sault Ste.Marie, Ontario to Saxon and into
Wisconsin ??
YES YES YES, its just 2 and 122 clicks, on the map…. Sault Ste.Marie, Ontario to Saxon!
Mommmmmmyyyyyyyy…. I need the bathroom, NOW !!
A /pd Manifesto
Predictable or Unpredictable ?
The answer lies in the process by which the ideas get shaped.
It’s the “Medici effect™” which supports and carry ideas, either predictable or unpredictable, such that growth imperative is met.
A /pd Manifesto
So what, is the Growth Imperative ?
Growth is sustained, by those understanding these forces and learning
to harness them.
Successful, new-growth business then become more consistent.
Understand =Forces : Learning =Harvest

“A numbers of companies that were faced with disruption have succeeded by addressing disruption and in becoming
leaders in the wave of disruption coming to them”
-The Innovator’s Dilemma
HBS-2003
A /pd Manifesto
The Question in Play?
•What products should we develop as we execute strategy ?
•Which market segments that needs focusing ?
•How can we know, for sure – that we are on the value pathway ?
A /pd Manifesto
….But I’m also stuck.I have a dilemma virus too!!!
ScareTacticsVx.0
–turning your back on what makes sense, yet greatly increasing the odds of scoring !!! Its
scary, you could win and yet loss.
Quantification Mechanic
- our Crapshoot for whatever does not work, or how customers and markets work.
A /pd Manifesto
I stand tasked! What about U ??.
I have a dilemma, do you have a solution ??
There is no demographic or psychographics profile set for a given
population of consumers.
A /pd Manifesto
Nonetheless! Its an infatuation.
We want customers who have long wanted our product but were unable to get one, until
We arrived on the scene.
Nonetheless, on this quest, these are the kind of customers that you will find !!
Do whatever, come hell , go hell !! Everyone, will always want that, just a little bit more. Its a Value
network.
A /pd Manifesto
What causes the failure? How can we know, for sure – that we
are on the value pathway ?
When there is no value to the customer.-Functionality, reliability. Not good enough
Excellence in responsiveness.-Speed and flexibility. Not fast enough.
A /pd Manifesto
Position offering!!
Formulate pervasiveness in and between all management tires.
Find those seeking to build new growth business and for those seeking to keep
current business robust.
Business needs to watch vigilantly in the right places for trends of processes.
A /pd Manifesto
R V Ready ??Capabilities requirements
Every one’s primed!! Can we engage ??
Is our structure and strength's ready for growth ??
How can we create new capabilities ?
A /pd Manifesto
Whew…..hold on!!!!What’s the risk ??
•Opportunities can be missed – $$ missed.
•Opportunities can be wasted - $$ Lost
However high is the potential innovations offering, if placed in the
wrong context or not suited to the task, it will be the cost of getting it wrong.
A /pd Manifesto
A deju vu-The Medici Effect!!
“Medici Effect” - like Champagne, tickling the nose, customers from the
outside. A pleasant experience, with all the higher virtues of life,
the offerings ….
flowing upwards from the bottom. Employee’s shooting the crap and
always goes all the way to the top !!
A /pd Manifesto
Points of leverage
Executive Leverage –Effective and appropriate executives will generate innovative processes.
Find the right customers – Executives will create the “memos from the Executive Office” –which means
being there, in the customers face!!
Accelerate Emergent Innovations – We’ll do that tomorrow. Tomorrow you toast, do it today
concept!!
A /pd Manifesto
The Theater curtainsFold or Unfold ?
Is is a Folding or an Unfolding paradigm ??
Simply seeking to have the right strategy doesn’t go deep enough. We need to know, when to fold and unfold strategies. It’s a very deliberate and emergent process.
A /pd Manifesto
The deliberations process Can it be measured ? Does it make sense
The Quantitative dilemma of executives;
“In the Men’s 100m Final, four athletes finished in less than 9.90 seconds, but it was USA’s Justin GATLIN who won gold medal with 9.85.”
-Aug 22nd 2004 Daily Athens Reports.
The difference between, the best of the four best is .05sec!!
A /pd Manifesto
Aha!!! A Zen Philosophy at last!!
Because of the perverse dynamics of the death spiral form inadequate growth,
achieving growth requires an almost Zen like ability to purse growth, when even
seemingly not necessary.
A /pd Manifesto
So ?? Is the idea predictable or unpredictable?
Because of the perverse dynamics of the death spiral form inadequate growth,
achieving growth requires an almost Zen like ability to purse growth, when even
seemingly not necessary.
Emergent innovations begins…..
A /pd Manifesto
Your being meddled. Now, go meddle others. !!!
The situation is that companies need capability to change, when they can’t
even see what innovations are needed, let alone decide which one merits
investment.
A /pd Manifesto
The end of the beginning!Rules of engagement
Rule#1 : Actively coordinate action and decisions when no process exist to do the coordination.
Rule#2:Break the grip of established processes so when a team is confronted with new challenges, that requires new patterns to sustain Rule#1.
Rule#3:Always take a step back and ensure that the right resources, processes, and values are applied in the right situation.
A /pd Manifesto
Passing the Baton….
Emergent innovations begins…..
…..If you start from a good place, then the choices that lead to success will look like the right choices. Doing what made sense leads to a next set of attractive choices. The initial conditions under which the innovation occurs, will change.
A /pd Manifesto
Innovations Manifesto!!“The Medici Effect”
Given the existence of principles but no precedent, we have simply done our best to suggest how a growth engine can be
created, for the “Medici effect”.The Medici effect “the breeding ground for breakthrough ideas” –
Harvard Business School- Johansson 2004.”
