AGENDA

Why Strategic Innovation?


Content• Too much focus on best practices, operational effectiveness and incremental improvements in cost

and quality• Too much imitation of competitors‘ moves• Too much holding on to one strategic position• Operational effectiveness is NOT strategy• „Herding“, clustering of companys around the most successful oneProcess• Strategy as incremental adaptation of last year‘s plan (no search for new opportunities,

differentiation, and new growth.• Planning being too formal and analytical• No creativity• The assumption of linearity of the processTools• Tools being too analytical• Focus on control• Tools were developed for a different purpose (analysis, planning and control)• Conventional tools provide a snapshot of conventional wisdom• „No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.“ General Collin Powell

It all started with criticism of strategic management.


“Business model innovation matters and it is a top priority of CEOs.”


„Innovation is front and center on the corporate agenda, according to a global survey. Executives are adding more breakthrough innovations and business model changes to their portfolio to fuel the growth engine.“

Business Week, November 16, 2009

„…the real barrier to strategic innovation is more than denial – it„s a matrix of deeply held beliefs about inherent superiority of a business model; beliefs that have been valitated by millions of customers; beliefs that have been enshrined in physical infrastructure and operating handbooks; beliefs that have hardened into religious convictions; beliefs that are held so strongly, that nonconforming ideas seldom get considered, and when they do, rarely get more than grudging support.“

Gary Hamel, The Future of Management

„The organizational designs that support innovation are very different from those that support delivery of current performance.“
