One very current example - automotive. New strategic thinking, coupled with automation and industrial digital technologies, has created a new breed of car manufacturing – which has reinvented the car, the manufacturing process, business & marketing models, to redefine what a car actually is. Think an electrified vehicle, powered by apps which customers subscribe to; essentially an iPod on wheels. What makes this interesting is, the incumbents have become laggards, now scrambling to catch-up.

Think about how this could be applied to your business. Companies build and produce things based upon established knowledge because that equals ‘less risk, more certainty.’ But as evidenced from the automotive and other industries, profit and competitiveness can be lost with ‘this is how it is done’ thinking. As a consequence, new valuable technology fails to gain a foothold in order to raise competitiveness. Conversely, those who do adapt gain new advantages which can be incredibly hard to replicate.
