(per Clayton Christensen, 1995)

Innovation that creates a new market or value network, disrupting an existing market, and displacing an earlier technology.

Disruptive Innovation

(per James McQuivey, 2013)

Innovation in an existing market that uses digital tools, methods, and infrastructure to fundamentally alter the delivery of a product or service, undercutting incumbent companies in the process.

Digital Disruption

Page 11: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

Why has Digital Disruption emerged?

• Free/cheap digital tools• Radically reduced infrastructure costs• Overall reduced cost to engage customer

Net result: small, new upstarts can compete with established market leaders quickly.

Return on Innovation

Digital Disruption leverages efficiencies to magnify the impact of innovation efforts.

Then vs. NowDisruptive Innovation Digital Disruption

Product-Centric Customer-Centric

Expensive, risky, slow-to-market

Cheap, low-risk, fast-to-market/fail

Take hold in niche markets first Can impact mainstream quickly

Long product-development cycles

Rapid ideation, iteration, delivery, and optimization

How can you achieve digital disruption and harness its power?

Digital Disruption: As a Practice

• “Build stuff customers actually want.”• “Innovate the Adjacent Possible.”• “Build. Test. Learn.”• “Avoid holding innovation efforts to executional

standards.”

Page 15: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

Process:

• Start with market problem / user problem• Use real customers — don’t make them up• Create personas from real customers, and

determine their motivations, passions, needs, wants

• Get out of the office

Start with the Customer

Page 16: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

• For engineers and product designers, it can be difficult to separate the problem from the solution.

• By following the Customer->Benefit path, we avoid settling on solutions prematurely

Determine Benefit

Page 17: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

• No need to know the outcome or even how to get there, just explore — get to the “stable next stage”

• Not necessarily linear, or obvious• Expand step by step through adjacent

possibilities• Best outcome, shortest time, lowest cost• Customer->Benefit->Strategy->Product

The “Adjacent Possible”

Page 18: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

• No need to know the outcome or even how to get there, just explore — get to the “stable next stage”

• Not necessarily linear, or obvious• Expand step by step through adjacent

possibilities• Best outcome, shortest time, lowest cost• Customer->Benefit->Strategy->Product

The “Adjacent Possible”

Synthesis: The Product Vision Statement

Page 20: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

“Fitbit for cars”

• Commodity OBD-reader hardware

• Commodity smartphones• Disruptive synthesis

Example: Dash

Page 21: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

Revolutionizing Transit Payments

• First system-wide mobile pay-and-use

• Leveraging commodity smartphones

• Collaborative design/build process

Example: Globesherpa

Page 22: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

How can you convince your organization to try this?

• Larger organizations naturally more risk-averse, wary of premature sharing of results with customers.

• On the contrary, iteration & rapid prototyping can be seen as risk mitigation techniques — lowered initial cost, faster results, shorter path to validation.

• Keep teams small• Cross organizational boundaries• Resist holding innovation efforts to executional

standards.• Disrupt or be disrupted

Digital Disruption: As a Mission

Page 23: Digital Disruption: From Zero to Sixty

• Digital Disruption is happening right now, in every industry

• The competitive landscape has been completely reshaped by the emergence of Digital Disruption

• Companies of all types can use disruptive techniques to improve their customer experience

• Lean Startup and Design Thinking methodologies can help inform disruptive efforts

• Becoming a disruptive company requires a deliberate effort, that is likely outside of the usual scope of operations for enterprise companies
