Explore vs Exploit Mindset
Most companies spend their time exploiting current market and improving their existing capabilities and processes. This mindset is about execution, forecasts, planning, and efficiencies. There is nothing wrong with this – it is table stakes for continuing to be successful. However, it will NOT get you the significant growth numbers many companies are looking for.
An explorer mindset is about invention, searching for new opportunities, learning and failing fast, and experimenting and pivoting. The goal is to explore new markets, unmet customer needs, and new business models that could return significant growth opportunities.
We must recognize that these innovation lenses have differing mindsets, skill sets, and risks.
Move From Product Innovation to Business Model Innovation
As we explore new areas to uncover growth opportunities, companies must start to change their mindset on how to view the innovation. We need to move from a product and service innovation mindset, to a business model innovation mindset.
Just creating a new product or service is not good enough! We must validate that we can create and deploy a business model that will allow us to capture value from the new idea. Your business model is how you create, deliver, and capture value. It is the true product/service – not the thing you make!
You will learn how to document, uncover, and test new business model ideas to quickly find new revenue generating opportunities. The 9 boxes in the business model depicted below can be viewed from several lenses to uncover innovations:
- Frontstage: Customer needs
- Backstage: Internal capabilities
- Profit Formula: Cost/Revenue variables
