Part 1: Skills Building
› Step 1: Select 10 components/bricks
› Step 2: Build a structure as high as possible
with these components
› Step 3: Build a model that illustrates your best
characteristics as a person
› Step 4: Share your characteristics with your
group members
› Step 5: Develop one group model that
combines the characteristics of the different
group members into one superteam. Give your
superteam a specific name

Different kinds of innovations
› Type of innovation
Product innovation: Changes in the
things (products/services) which an
organization offers
Process innovation: Changes in the
ways in which they are created and
delivered
› Novelty of innovation
Incremental innovation:
Doing what we do better
Radical innovation:
New to the world

Challenges in Organizing Explorative and
Exploitative Innovation at the Individual level
Exploitative innovation:
Analytic cognitive style
12
Explorative innovation:
Intuitive cognitive style
13. | 13
Exploitative innovation:
Structured process model
Explorative innovation:
Flexible process model
Challenges in Organizing Explorative and
Exploitative Innovation at the Process level
14. |
Exploitative innovation:
Mechanistic structure
-Centralized structure
with multiple hierarchical
levels
-Formal coordination by
means of vertical
communication
-Focus on control
Explorative innovation:
Organic structure
- Decentralized structure
with limited number of
hierarchical levels
- Informal coordination
by means of lateral
communication
- Focus on autonomy

Structural separation of exploitative and explorative
activities within the firm
Exploitation Exploration
Organizing for sustainable innovation:
Intra-firm solutions
Structure: Ambidextrous organization, internal venturing department, explorative
heavyweight team
Advantage: Each separate unit can be optimally staffed, managed and structured
Challenges: Expensive and limited ability to realize synergies across different units
