The Innovator’s Dilemma


• 20 years since Harvard Business School Professor Clayton M.

Christensen used the term in his best seller: The Innovator’s

Dilemma (subtitled Management of Innovation and Change)

(1997).

• The central theme is the relationship between organizational

culture and the ability to innovate. New organizations innovate

easier with disruptive technologies because they are not tied to

outdated values or organizational norms.

• What does this mean for leadership?

Intelligent software is real now, fuelled by massive data.

IBM’s Watson software is incredibly powerful, and able to eat

enormous amounts of unstructured text, read it, and extract

useful information from it on a dizzying array of topics.

The same software, with minor modifications, can serve as

a lawyer, engineer, doctor and chef.

AI or Cognitive Computing

• Innovation is about what doesn’t

exist yet

• It is a space and language

dominated by technology

• Its about the possibilities not the

gadget

• You need to help people see

what’s possible and

• Let the people you employ create

the value

We need to take people on the journey and go on the

journey ourselves – we all will need new perspectives and

new skills


• New answers to old problems – water, land disturbance, toxicity

………

• The possibility of an entirely new way to think about low

impact/small footprint/invisible mining

• A New Reality?? – different business models – ownership

models – new roles – new professions

– old roles disappearing?

For the Resources Sector

skills of innovation

• Pursue the Truth – listen and engage –internally and

Harnessing the Future • A long view of the people you need – culture and

disruption
