DESCRIPTION

One hour lecture given to a master class covering sectorial innovation systems and business model innovation. Title: "Breaking down the telco boundaries through frontline iterations." The lecture attempts to argue the importance of focusing on getting your learning model right before introducing a new business model, and then supported by real life examples. For example how to launch and scale financial services on top of core telco infrastructure and how to push incremental innovations in sales & distribution across markets despite different local factors. It also highlights the importance of looking beyond your own sector for innovation, and how you can harness your presence in diverse markets and cultures for scaling more robust business models over time. The lecture also refers to the skateboard movement for understanding how we could disrupt industries more effectively with an extreme sports athlete approach. Risky business or unproven initiatives will undoubtedly benefit if you have a personal passion for learning and getting beaten until you get it right. BI Norwegian School of Management, Nydalen, Oslo. 28.10.2013
