Stewardship vs. Entrepreneurship

• Stewards polish grandma’s silver – they buff up the assets and capabilities they inherited from entrepreneurs long retired or dead.

• entrepreneurial heroes – innovators - are obsessed with creating new wealth.

Stewards conserve. Entrepreneurs create

Hamel 1999

Jack Welch CEO of GE 1981-1999

• “As we develop our strategies, I want general managers talking to general managers, not planners talking to planners”

• “A company can boost productivity by restructuring, removing bureaucracy, and downsizing, but it cannot sustain high productivity without cultural change”

• Wants GE known not as “lean and mean’, but ‘lean and agile’.

In a Nonlinear World only Nonlinear Ideas will Create New Wealth

“I used to spend most of my time worrying about the how – how we did things, how we operated, how efficient we were.”

“Now I spend much of my time worrying about the what – what opportunities to pursue, what partnerships to form, what technologies to back, what experiments to start.”

A CEO in Hamel 2000

Create a Mission & Develop a Vision

• The mission is a written expression of what the owners stands for and believe in and how the company will reflect those values and beliefs.

• Mission emphasizes:– "What business are we in?”– “Why we’re here” and – “Where we are going.”

• Vision is based on this mission.

Innovation

Innovation is the process that endows a recognised Opportunity

with the capacity to add-valueto an already existent

invention, product, process, or service

and at a ‘price’ a customer will pay

Gillin/ /Drucker

Adapted from Patel 2005

Function of Strategy of Innovationis to Deliver Results

Founding state is data, information & opportunity recognition– with intervention of analysis & screening, opportunity

recognition is transformed into a state of knowledge– with intervention of non-linear experience, knowledge

is transformed into intuition– with intervention of wisdom & heart, intuition is

transformed into state of innovation– with intervention of strategy and action, innovation is

transformed into results

Corporate Innovation

“Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business – in demographics, in values, in technology or science – and then to look at them as opportunities.”“It also requires something that is more difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend tomorrow.”

Drucker Inc. 1996

Business Concept Innovation

• Not strictly about competitive strategy,

• Not a way of positioning against competitors,

• But of going around them.

• It’s based on avoidance not attack.

• What is not different is not strategy

• No longer between products or services

• It’s between competing business concepts

Hamel

Page 25: 1 Organising for Innovation Tuesday 20 th April 2010 Stephen Spring sfspring@mac.com

25

The Business Concept

• Customer interface – fulfillment and support,

relationship dynamics, pricing structure

• Core strategy – business mission, product/market scope,

basis for differentiation

• Strategic resources – core competencies, strategic assets,

core processes

• Value network – suppliers, partners, and coalitionsHamel

The adaptable corporation?

• Most companies are far better at executing their current activities than at adapting to long-term changes in the business environment. Very few can do both well.

• Managers face an unending competition for money, people, and time to address the need to perform in the short term and the equally vital need to invest in the long run.

• Is it possible to do both well or is there an inevitable trade-off between executing and adapting

Beinhocker 2006

Page 29: 1 Organising for Innovation Tuesday 20 th April 2010 Stephen Spring sfspring@mac.com

29

Executing versus adapting

• “Loose - Tight” organisationIn Search of Excellence - Peters & Waterman (1982)

• “Creativity” versus “Control”Built to Last - Collins & Porras (1997)

• “Operating” versus “Innovating”Creative Destruction - Foster & Kaplan (2001)

• “Ambidextrous” organizationWinning through Innovation - Tushman & O’Reilly (2002)

• “Exploration” versus “Exploitation”Exploration and exploitation in organizational learning - March (1991)

Page 30: 1 Organising for Innovation Tuesday 20 th April 2010 Stephen Spring sfspring@mac.com

30

Why is adapting and performing well so hard?

The demands of execution create deep barriers to adaptability and these barriers affect every organization

Page 31: 1 Organising for Innovation Tuesday 20 th April 2010 Stephen Spring sfspring@mac.com

31

Barriers to adaptability

• People - mental models become more rigid and more locked in and more adverse to novelty as we gain experience

• Structure - highly independent systems can sometimes become so complicated that they go into gridlock and change becomes impossible

• Resources - companies acquire and maintain the resources required to perform its existing business. They may not have the resources required for a new opportunity.

Building Structure in a Managers Mind

“Managers are losing control of their companies because the companies are organisationally incapable of carrying out the sophisticated strategies they have developed.

Strategic thinking has outstripped organisational capabilities.

Some managers have responded to this by trying to manage complexity with complex structures.”

Bartlett & Ghoshal

Page 37: 1 Organising for Innovation Tuesday 20 th April 2010 Stephen Spring sfspring@mac.com

37

The Result

“The matrix seemed ideal as a structure for managing complexity.

In practice it proved almost unmanageable, especially in the international context.

Dual reporting created conflict and confusion, communication channels were jammed and overlapping responsibilities produced turf battles and loss of accountability.

These problems were difficult to solve over barriers of time, language, distance and culture.”

Design as particular Organisation

• Entrepreneurial – coordinate by direct supervision, dominated by apex, flexible, dynamic

• Machine – coordination by standardisation of processes, key part

is techno-structure, very formalised

• Professional – operating core of professionals who coordinate

using standardisation of skills, training

• Diversified – set of independent entities (divisions) connected by

loose admin. Structure, key middle line, standardisation of outputs • Innovative – skilled support staff collaborate with others in

organisation - key part, coordination by mutual adjustment, dynamic

• Missionary – members identify with mission, standard norms

• Political – dominated by politics, no key coordination

Principle

“The critical strategic requirement is not to devise the most ingenious and well coordinated plan but to build the most viable and strategic process;

the key organisational task is not to design the most elegant structure but to capture individual capabilities and motivate the entire organisation to respond cooperatively to a complicated and dynamic environment.”

Bartlett & Ghoshal
