The Problem

The Premise

Companies are putting more resources than ever into to producing innovative solutions, yet 94% of executives express dissatisfaction with their company’s innovation performance. That’s because while innovation is still critical, it’s no longer enough. To win, you have to be transformative.
 
While nearly eight in ten CEOs believe their company is at or near the cutting edge of innovation, their reliance on technological innovation and digital transformation to fuel their competitive strategy provides dismal results.
By contrast, the best innovators today, companies like Netflix, Apple, Airbnb, and others find success by being the new entrants into the markets they transform. They take on existing markets and create larger opportunities and new competitive dynamics that increase their advantages and turn incumbent strengths into weaknesses.
 
Transformative companies aren’t first movers who invent new products; they’re game-changers whose category-creating solutions deliver new and better customer outcomes, altering industry structure, and radically changing and reframing existing markets.
