Cross-Functional Excellence

Although innovation is driven by technology, required competence extends beyond technical know-how. In the new innovation-driven economy and intelligence-based enterprises, systemic-innovation solutions arise from complex interactions between many individuals, organizations and environmental factors.

The boundaries between products and services fade rapidly too. If you wish to be a market leader today, your business architect must be able to integrate in a balanced way different types of know-how that would transform stand-alone technologies, products and services into a seamless, value-rich solution.

Systemic and Synergistic Innovation

If you want to create lasting success, be a Master of Business Synergies (MBS) ‒ look for and build innovative synergies. You can find a strategic competitive advantage by seeking to leverage, rather than diminish, opposite forces.

Innovation used to be a linear trajectory from new knowledge to new product. Now innovation is neither singular nor linear, but systemic. It arises from complex interactions between many individuals, organizations and environmental factors.

Firms which are successful in realizing the full returns from their technologies and innovations are able to match their technological developments with complementary expertise in other areas of their business, such as manufacturing, distribution, human resources, marketing, and loving customer relationships.

Distinctive Capabilities

Distinctive capabilities help you stand out from the competition and are the basis of your competitive advantage. As a source of competitive advantage, a capability should be neither too simple that it is highly imitable, nor too complex that it defies internal steering and management.

Knowledge

"Smart businesses strip away everything that gets in their knowledge workers' way to attract the best performers and thus secure the single biggest factor for competitive advantage," says Peter Drucker.

According to the new resource-based view of the company, sustainable competitive advantage is achieved by continuously developing existing and creating new resources and capabilities in response to rapidly changing market conditions. Among these resources and capabilities, in the new economy, knowledge represents the most important value-creating asset.

Tacit knowledge and intellectual cross-pollination as distinctive capabilities contribute most to sustainable competitive advantage of a company.
