RETURN ON INVESTMENT INNOVATION AS PORTFOLIO Most companies have portfolios that are heavily core-weighted; trouble comes when they attempt to re-balance

Rebalancing from core to adjacent and transformaonal can be de-risked by: Leapfrogging and § Seeing the future more clearly geng directly to TRANSFORMATIONAL § Understanding market needs more deeply

7 TYPES using 8 TACTICS: TEN TYPES OF INNOVATION The Ten Types of Innovation and Innovation Ambition

As you increase in your level of ambion, you need to be more disrupve to exisng business models and need to think about layering in more and more innovaon types

FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL INNOVATION You will need coordinated innovaon across mulple (4+), interdependent types.

FOR ADJACENT INNOVATION You’ll need innovaon within mulple types (3-4) around a new market offer.

FOR CORE INNOVATION For innovaon in the core, you will be innovang within independent innovaon types around exisng offers aimed at current customers.

SUBSTITUTING DISCIPLINE FOR CREATIVITY Also, different levels of innovation ambition require different people, motivational factors, and support systems

To achieve transformaon—to do different things— an organizaon has to do things differently. TRANSFORMATIONAL Core and adjacent innovaon can generally be managed by the exisng business structures within an organizaon. Transformaonal innovaon, however, needs separate leadership and procedures. These different levels of innovaon ambion require CORE and ADJACENT differenaon in four key areas of management: 1. Approach 2. Organization 3. Resources and competencies 4. Metrics and incentives WHAT’S NEXT? CFOs can and should accelerate the company’s journey into innovation

§ Understand where innovaon efforts are today

§ Align porolio choices with agreed innovaon ambion

§ Ensure the porolio is appropriately resourced

§ Create a smart metric system and valuaon methodology that reflects the ambion mix

§ Almost always aim for fewer, bolder iniaves

§ Become a strategic partner to other funcons

WHAT’S NEXT? Become an integrated part of the process Be something other than the Innovation person who says no.
