Opportunity that is not converted
into Economic Reality, yet
BUT TOO MANY COMPANIES ARE FAILING TO CONVERT THE
OPPORTUNITY INTO VALUE - WE CALL THIS TRAPPED VALUE

To measure trapped value we analyzed the growth of current operations (Current value) and investor expectations (future value) of 200 of the largest companies by revenue across 18 industries. Time
period of analysis: 2012 to 2017.

Our disruptability framework measures an industry’s current level of disruption by examining two components: the presence and penetration of disruptor companies and the financial performance of
incumbents. To gauge susceptibility, we measure three components: incumbents’ operational efficiency, commitment to innovation, and defenses against attack. To measure these variables, we built
a bottom-up index using data from 200 companies across 18 industries in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Time period of analysis: 2012 to 2017.
For survey data: n = 150 C-suite executives across 11 industries
~60% of respondents said they expect their
industry to be significantly disrupted in the next three
years

TO PREPARE FOR THE WISE PIVOT JOURNEY, CHAMPIONS CREATE
THREE PRECONDITIONS TO REINVENT THEIR ORGANIZATIONS
Our Innovation Maturity Index indicates that there is a sharp divide between those on the winning side of innovation and those being disrupted by it.
The overall country score on the Index was 56 out of 100. But a small group of innovation champions—6 percent of the sample—averaged 73 points.
The quality of innovation among champions is evidenced in both the Innovate by Design pillar and Innovation practices based on their scores.
