This course covers what is Innovation and why everything needs to start with alignment.
If you don’t know where you’re going... Chances are you won’t get where you want to go.
Alignment is the foundation of effective growth and Innovation. It is about finding what is important to you (MISSION) and matching this with what the market wants (NEEDS) and plan to deliver and extract value. It is also about an honest assessment of who you are. (CULTURE)
Deliverables: After this course you will be able to identify 3-4 True North priorities for your company /division (True north) priorities can be:
1. Changing what you are doing and why
2. Changing how you work to generate or extract more value
3. How to work smarter and / or get your culture supporting your innovation objectives
3. What you can expect today

8. And this a lot less…
• Low quality video
• No SD
• Bad Battery life
• More expensive than
competition

Value Creation
If consumers are not willing to
pay more, you are not
meaningfully unique
Value Capture
If you are not earning more you
are not innovating

Without
innovation we
all become
average
18. Why innovation
• Only insurance against irrelevance
• Only protection against commoditization
• Only hope of long-term customer loyalty
• The only real hope of long-term competitive
advantage
Arguably it is everything
It is ONE Thing you can do (if you do it well) that will
make everything else easier or unnecessary
19. 3 Myths
1.It is all about big
ideas
2.There are recipes
for success
3.Soft creative culture
23. In his words..
He sold spark plugs
to Industry
Fees for 2-3 day
workshops
$100,000 – $ 200,000
then the sparks worked
less and less
24. They analysed a mountain of data
PEOPLE Data: innovation benchmarking data on over 100,000
managers.
PROCESS Data: As of this writing we have measured over 6,000
teams during a day of brainstorming.
IDEA Data: market research on over
26,000 innovations.
27. What is the “guru story”
1. “We’re all going to die”
2. “the bureaucracy is killing us” – so we have to
go outside the normal organizational structure to
get the right things done.
3. “There is hope for a brighter future” – as long
as we all follow the guidelines and turn our
organizations upside down.
4. “You have the power to make a change for the
better” – even if you occupy the low rung on the
corporate ladder.
5. “Follow me”
27
29. Gurus sell you recipes
to sell you ingredients
I believe you can “learn to cook”, so
you can choose which recipe fits your
company, select your ingredients and
most importantly, still be able to cook
when you’re missing ingredients
30. Continuous
improvement is not a
conservative strategy
It is about action every day,
regular failure and
an unwillingness to accept there is any
product, or process that cannot be
further improved
33. A good innovation culture is NOT soft
Everyone Wants
• Tolerance for failure
• Willingness to Experiment
• Collaborative
• Freedom to speak up
• Flat
The reality
• Intolerance for incompetence
• Demand disciplined action
• Individual accountability
• Brutal Candor
• Strong Leadership

36. 7 Key Learnings:
1. Strategic alignment is the cornerstone of successful
innovation
2. If you want to give autonomy, you need to have
strategic alignment first
3. If you get alignment, attitudes and learning orientation
in place, systems will follow
4. The right balance disruptive/incremental is key
5. Proactivity is the one thing you need to reward
6. If you are in a big company or a small company you
need to act like you are in a successful start up
7. Walk before you run
SEVEN DRIVERS OF
INNOVATION SUCCESS
THREE YEARS OF
RESEARCH…
WITH OVER 400 COMPANIES
39. The importance of theory
For years people looked at birds and concluded feathers are
linked to the ability to fly
• Yes, birds have feathers
• But, people with feathers cannot fly
Observation Theory
40. My innovation theory in simple terms
• "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then,
is not an act, but a habit." ~ Aristotle
• What we are willing to repeatedly do is
determined by our desires , abilities and systems
(and systems are what drive everything)
40
41. The goal : Level 1 to Level 3
LEVEL 1 - INNOVATION AS AN EVENT
This is where most companies find themselves. They conduct
brainstorming sessions or hold random contests to generate
new ideas.
LEVEL 2 - INNOVATION AS A CAPABILITY
The organization puts in place structures and processes to
define problems, generate and evaluate solutions, and develop
action plans to implement those solutions.
LEVEL 3 - INNOVATION AS A SYSTEM
The ultimate level involves creating an environment where
innovation is embedded in everything you do. With embedded
innovation, people innovate to deal not only with “problems or
challenges” that are presented to them but with everything they
do.
43. General theories of
Innovation
What you need to know The Theory
Big ideas are grown If you want to end up with big ideas, you must
begin by growing small ideas.
Winning companies have
improvement habits
If you can embed improvement habits in your
organization, you will be able to grow bigger
and better ideas.
Effective speed and effort make a
world of difference
If you cultivate a sense of urgency and a
culture of speed, you will grow ideas faster
and more effectively.
44. The ABCs is a method to make this
possible

INNOVATION
54. Question: Is Google an innovator or a
business model innovator ?
They created more
value
And captured value
There value capture was
the bigger innovation

N
Narrative. Why it is
important (the story)
Building innovation habits is hard. Most companies focus on motivating
habit change. This doesn't work. The key to building habits is to
facilitate habit change. Through their active methods, sprints are
powerful ways to build skills and common methods. This is an
opportunity for habit change
O Objective
A new productizable sprint program that will help build positive
Innovation habits, launched when the CYCLES book is published
R
Restrictions: We are
not interested in
New methods or techniques (we need to use what we have)

111. The Challenge
TRUE Truly Simple
A better way to build innovation habits using Sprint techniques and the
ABCS of Innovation
N
Narrative. Why it is
important (the story)
Building innovation habits is hard. Most companies focus on motivating
habit change. This doesn't work. The key to building habits is to
facilitate habit change. Through their active methods, sprints are
powerful ways to build skills and common methods. This is an
opportunity for habit change
O Objective
A new productizable sprint program that will help build positive
Innovation habits, launched when the CYCLES book is published
R
Restrictions: We are
not interested in
New methods or techniques (we need to use what we have)
A program that needs to be adapted for each client/company
T Tactical Constraints:
Actionable with your Team
A clear link to CYCLES and the ABCS of Innovation
Could be done at the time of the Cycles launch (Jan 2020)

114. Pieter M.
Once upon a time, there was a boy not knowing what to do with his
life. Until one day, an extraterrestrial appeared and told him that
learning the cunning tricks of marketing could make him a
millionaire. Following up on the alien’s advice, he began his
marketing studies at the KUL.
My philosophy
Live the life you love, love the life you live.
Why doing things the hard way if there are far more easier ways to
do it?
A bit more...
He likes doing things out of the ordinary and would therefore wants
to be the first to market products in space. He also acknowledges
the fact of having a girlfriend from out of space is an important
plus. Only such a girlfriend has the power to look after him and to
keep him on the right track. Anything is possible, only if you set
your mind to it.

I came here on a Viking ship...
This Danish girl has always enjoyed school. She has been studying in many
different countries, which have given her an extra ordinary knowledge about other
nationalities and cultures.
She is an energetic and committed student with an excellent experience for other
cultures. She is a team player that takes initiative and motivates others.
Her Secrets...
It is always horrible to ruin the stereotype of a “Danish”. But the truth about this
Danish girl is...
• She can’t mention one single soccer player on the Danish national team.
• Shortly after she was born, her mermaid long tail shriveled up and the long
blond hair became discolored. Never in her life has she worn a helmet with
horns.
But the Danish girl’s Viking genes have not totally disappeared. The humor and
mentality is still there. She loves irony, especially when she is able to get away
with it!
