Scaling Up Transformational
Innovations
Transformational innovations are
radical and
systemic.
Scaling up transformational
innovations
requires the whole organization
to do things differently,
typically with no or little
increase in total resources.
Research shows that the
following six approaches
are useful when it comes to
scaling up of transformational
innovations:
①
Entrepreneurial simulation games
like
InnoBall (Innovation
Brainball);
②
80/20 Revolution;
③
Launching a crusade lead by
the
Head of
Growth;
④
Transitioning to a lean
enterprise;
⑤
Leveraging centralized sources
of
cross-functional management,
funding, staffing, and human
resource development;
⑥
Finding ways to
increase productivity and
free up resources within the
innovation function or the
business unit. |
