The Insight Centre: Delivering breakthrough innovation and change
Your products, services and technologies have a limited lifetime......
|
Every
product or service and the technologies upon which they are based, will
one day become redundant due to: - a diminished market need, - a lack of natural or sustainable resources, or - a new innovative offering meeting the consumers' needs better and cheaper. The speed at which this occurs varies by industry but its inevitability is certain. |
| In today's hyper-competitive global economy, the pace of this disruption to established products, services and technologies is ever increasing, futures are less certain. |
| Your business will eventually have to drive breakthrough change or become its victim. |
The Insight Centre helps its clients to confront the process of 'Disruptive Breakthrough'. We have a portfolio of tools and processes underpinned by 20 years technical and change management experience in a wide range of industries and environments. |
|
We
work in five key areas: |
|
• Products: |
Technical problem solving facilitation. Assessing threats by competitors. Seeking opportunities for disruptive breakthroughs. Advising action feasibility in the competitive environment. |
|
• Process: |
Auditing routines and procedures that affect next generation and breakthrough business development. Best practice advice. |
| • People: | Building or enhancing innovative technical problem solving teams. Assessing and building commitment to disruptive change as a collective imperative. Evaluating and updating skills and talents. |
| • Projects: | Advice and support for the initiation and management of projects focused upon the development of new products, services and processes with breakthrough potential. |
| • Portfolios: | Assessing portfolios of innovation activity. Conducting product/service maturity evaluations. Creating resource allocation strategies to maximize the benefits of product enhancements, operational efficiency and breakthrough business development. |
Competitive
environments are becoming ever more turbulent because of the increasing pace of companies introducing breakthrough products, services and business models. |
Analysis
of the Fortune 500 reveals: one-third of the companies listed in 1970 had vanished by 1983. |
Analysis
of the Standard & Poor's index of 90 important US companies reveals
that the expected duration of a company's existence on the index has
fallen from 65 years in the 1930's, to just 10 years at the end of 1990's. |
These
analyses show that organisations ultimately grow and survive through
innovative products, technologies, processes and business models. An
organisation's failure usually follows a lack of appreciation of these
facts. |
