Why does smart firms which have been innovators in the past find themselves in
difficulties under discontinuous conditions?
1. To continually replicate innovation success, you must be insight driven; you must
start with a meaningful consumer or customer issue then, and only then, move to
ideas.
2. Entrepreneurs are awesome at coming up with those ideas, jumping into action
and getting things done, which means they are idea and prototype factories.
Unfortunately, they often lack the discipline, rigor and time to get ideas to market.
3. Large corporations have the bandwidth, reach, channels, relationships and cash
to do quantitatively and qualitatively robust insight work. Unfortunately, they often
deny what the world is telling them. But they have the ability to see the future if they
want to. This power is priceless.
4. Most large corporations were designed to deliver short-term profit and mitigate
risk. In essence, this means to be competent, they kill or castrate any disruptive idea
because, by definition, these ideas are threatening.
5. The best thinkers in large companies are often frustrated because they have
solutions that would save the firm that go ignored. A great example of this is Steven
Sasson who invented the digital camera while working at Kodak—an idea that Kodak
continually ignored because they believed, correctly, that they had built a different
business.
What might they do to avoid it?

Mobile Technologies : All technologies enabling interactions and information exchange via mobile devices
(smartphones, tablets etc.) to support product offering testing and real time consumer feedback
Social Listening : Ability to gather customer centric insights through web listening to develop target idea or product
testing, collect product improvements opportunities or services development opportunities via continuous feedback
loop
Open Innovation & Crowd Sourcing Platform : Collaboration platforms enabling to reach an open or targeted array of
customers to test concepts and sense requirements, collect new ideas
Connected Devices: Environment in which electronic devices, wearable or enabling application specific consumer
interaction, are provided with unique identifiers and have the ability to transfer data over a network without human to
computer interaction thus enabling usage and customer insights
Digital Customer Intelligence: Personalized analytics developed through usage data and/or customer preference
listening through social networks, web sensing, that enable to inform ideation process, product portfolio management
and concept development process
3D Printing : Also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-
dimensional object. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D Model or other
electronic data source.
Innovation Portfolio Management Tools : Tools enabling to deploy a consistent steering of innovation funnel while
implementing a cross functional and fact based approach to ideas and concept valuation
Virtual Reality & Mixed Immersive Reality : Artificial environment that is created with software, presented to the user
in such a way that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a real experience environment
