Horizon 1: Emergence • Tacit Knowledge Pays Dividends • Find ways to tap into this tacit knowledge – enable it and empower it – “teach” people how to “do different” but within boundaries and limits • The challenge for executives is - how to enable/empower this to happen in a balanced way, track and roll up the good stuff - and not discourage the folks that have failed with their little experiments
Horizon 2: Constraints • Process is Key • Unless you have great systems and processes – you will not be good at innovation. • The challenge for executives is - Competitive differentiation comes from what you do different. An optimal business system is a combination of two things - highly defined systems/process and spare time.
Horizon 3: Communication • In Dynamic Systems, Meaning is Communicated • Where there’s a pattern there’s an algorithm. Your job is not just to commercialize – but it’s to define the algorithm - that ruthlessly replicable commercialization process that optimizes cash and survival – to the point that you can start to simulate events based on new strategies and tactics – it’s in fact all possible. • The challenge for executives is - There is a need to balance the order with "noise" - errors that we learn from, experiments that we run, what we do in our spare time, and constant outside change that we're always trying to understand
