FACING UP TO THE REVOLUTION• To thrive in the age of change and revolution.
• Inventing new strategies supersedes the implementation of improved old strategies.
• The end of progress - the age of progress began in hope - it is ending in anxiety.
• We now stand on the threshold of revolution of new age - the age of revolution.
• First the revolutionaries will take your markets and customers
• Next they will take your best employees.
• Finally they'll take your assets.
FINDING THE REVOLUTION
• Can you think beyond new products? Or new services? Or new business concepts?
• Unpacking the Business Model:
• Core Strategy
• Strategic Resources
• Customer Interface
• Value Network
FINDING THE REVOLUTIONCore Strategy:1. Business Mission2. Product/Market Scope
Strategic Resources:1. Core Competencies2. Strategic Assets3. Core Processes
Customer InterfaceValue Network1. Suppliers2. Partners
UNLESS YOU AND YOUR COMPANY BECOME ADEPT AT BUSINESS CONCEPT INNOVATION, MORE IMAGINATIVE MINDS WILL CAPTURE TOMORROW’S WEALTH.
IGNITING THE REVOLUTION• In a highly successful company the Political model, Mental model, Business model and Operating
model are all perfectly aligned – each sitting squarely atop the one below:
• Human resource “alignment” is fine – if the world isn’t constantly
changing.
• But perfect alignment destroys any chance of innovation, because
it brooks no dissent and allows no alternatives.
• Alignment is the enemy of business concept innovation.
POLITICAL MODEL
MENTAL MODEL
BUSINESS MODEL
OPERATING MODEL
CORPORATE REBELS• Activists are not anarchists.
• They are the loyal opposition.
• Their loyalty is not to any particular person or office, but to the continued success of the organization and those who labor on its behalf.
Revolution
SUSTAINING THE REVOLUTION• Companies that are incapable of changing either themselves or their industry are either dead
dying.
Gray Haired Revolutionaries
Slow Moving Bureaucrats
One-TimeVisionaries
Cost and Efficiency Addicts
MY CRITIQUE• The only way for companies to compete in this age of revolution is to embrace the powerful
force of business concept innovation. This is the capacity to re-conceive existing business models in ways that create new value for customers, rude surprises for competitors, and new wealth for investors.
• Companies either evolve quickly or go extinct. Today, imagination is more important than ever for keeping a company competitive.
