Future Squared with Steve Glaveski

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Many large organisations are guilty of taking old, oftentimes broken, processes born out of 20th Century necessity and digitising them. Such pursuits are internally heralded as shining example of innovation and digital transformation. However, this usually amounts to little more than expensive and at best incremental improvements.

Karen Dillon is co-author of Clayton Christensen's new book, Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice” (HarperCollins, October 2016), a groundbreaking book with the potential to reframe industries. It is based on a simple yet profound idea put forward by Christensen in “The Innovator’s Solution”: customers don’t buy products and services; they hire them to do a job. And understanding which jobs your customers need done is key to innovation success.

The former editor of Harvard Business Review (HBR), Karen has long chronicled the successes and failures of businesses and their leaders.

Currently a contributing editor to HBR focused on the topics of leadership, managing people, managing yourself and entrepreneurship, Dillon has worked closely with some of the world’s greatest thought leaders, including Clayton Christensen, Michael Porter, Vijay Govindarajan, Daniel Isenberg and A.G. Lafley.

A talented, award-winning writer, she is also a passionate, engaging speaker – and is especially skilled at personalizing the themes of her books to make them actionable and relevant to each audience.

Dillon is co-author of several best-selling titles, including “How Will You Measure Your Life?” (HarperCollins, May 2012), with Christensen and James Allworth. The book, born out of a series of powerful lectures and seminars by Christensen, began with an article conceived by Dillon for HBR.

 

Topics Discussed:

- Her new book, “Competing Against Luck”

- What is a ‘job to be done’

- Identifying customer jobs to be done

- “The story of the milkshake!”

- Looking through a different lens, to improve innovation.

- The anxiety of customer switch and buying patterns

- Customer journey mapping and more

- Prioritising jobs to be done ("which jobs should I build a product around?")

I had the pleasure of chatting to Jenny Blake late last night, hjost of the Pivot podcast and author of Pivot, the book which has been referred to as the Lean Startup meeting a personal playbook for career change.

We geeked out on all manner of topics - but honed in on her concept of pivoting, that is - changing career direction, not by doing a full 180, but by keeping one foot planted and focusing on your strengths. I explore one of the key learnings from this conversation in this instalment of Fast Fix Friday.

In an age where the time between disruptions is getting shorter and the exponential growth of technology threatens the upheaval of almost every industry, certainty is fast becoming a distant memory. Yet, when it comes to deciding which projects to invest in at most large organisations, we often rely on projections and estimates based on assumptions about the same uncertain future. Think of this as the Innovator’s Funding Dilemma, encapsulated by these five common pitfalls of funding corporate innovation projects. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I talk the 5 funding traps of corporate innovation projects. Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Like us?

Ahoy there entrepreneurs and corporate innovators!

After my recent appearance on the Razor Sharp Show with Ray Milidoni, I was invited back for a deep dive interview with Matt Romania, to talk all about a topic of personal disruption, something I touched on when chatting with Ray. In this age of technological upheaval and business model disruption, the need to be more adaptable and duck and weave in response to, or even better, in anticipation of, change, is becoming more and more important.

We touch on the what, why, and how of personal disruption and reinvention in this podcast as well as what disrupting yourself feels like and some of the common challenges you will no doubt encounter if straying from a common pathway.

Also, we discuss trapezing!

In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk hackathons, and how, while they are a great tool for bringing teams together to move quickly to build prototypes, are often done in a way that doesn't focus on problem solution fit, unique value proposition or business model.

Essentially, most hackathons fall into the all to common trap of building what excites the team building it, but not the market. This is the main reason why 96% of startups and new ventures fail.

I talk through what you and/or your organisation need to think about in order to run a successful hackathon that can deliver genuine outcomes and galvanise an organisation around its innovation efforts.
