Great Problems

What problem are we
solving and for who?
What are the basic emotions that problem
and solution are addressing?
What is the overall solution
that would fix this problem?
What are the benefits and
are they strong enough to
have people change their
preference?
What are the different
functions a customer would
expect this solution to have?
Whom are you
addressing with this product or
service?

Incremental innovation
• Development of ‘need to have’
digitals projects and technology
• Working on the existing
foundation of the company
• Follows general procedures and
regulations
• Slow
Change projects
• Small and dedicated project-teams,
focused on in-house innovation
• Limited independency: they are an
(internal) supplier of the factory
• Focus on strategically important new-
style projects or add-ons that will be
rolled-out within the existing company
architecture
Breakthrough innovation
• Small dedicated teams focused on
innovation
• Autonomous operations and decisions
• Possibly separate entities
• Focused on agile and rapid development and
roll-out of ideas in a stand-alone model
• These can be grass-root internal
initiatives or acquisition of interesting
targets
Organisation Model

37. • =
“If you can't understand the new
world of digital, fire yourself.
Build an executive team that is
digital-first. Make sure there is a
techie on the board of directors. If
the board has a low digital IQ, the
company will have a low digital IQ”
George Colony
CEO Forrester Research
