The book, Beyond Disruption, shows companies how to build a path beyond disruption, where economic growth and social good are not trade-offs that work against each other and divide us.
“It’s what we call nondisruptive creation
that allows us to innovate and grow without disruption and social pain,” share
the authors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne.
Nondisruptive creation has three distinctive
characteristics:
First: It can be generated by a scientific invention
or a technology-driven innovation. But it can also be generated without science
or technology-drive innovation. This is good news for many entrepreneurs, executives,
and companies that lack the wherewithal or the appetite to invest in scientific
or technological innovations.
Second: Nondisruptive creation is not limited to any
specific region or socioeconomic standing. It’s applicable to any geographic area
of the world.
Third: Nondisruptive creation is not the same as
new-to-the-world innovation. For example, an offering that already exists in
one area can be brand new when it is offered in other areas.
“In contrast to ‘creative disruption,’ (i.e., Netflix/Blockbuster, Uber/Taxis, etc.) – nondisruptive creation helps people and businesses succeed while doing social good in a way that doesn’t destroy thousands of jobs and entire companies that so often happens when companies set out to ‘disrupt,’” explain the authors.
Some recent nondisruptive examples include:
23andMe: DTC genetic testing helps understand
ancestry and disease without displacing geneticists or hospitals. $1B+ current
valuation.
Kickstarter: Public idea financing without
displacing investors or banks. Created ~300K+ jobs, 8,000+ companies and $5.3B+
of direct economic impact.
E-sports: Reimagined gaming as an active, physical,
in-person event and is now even an OLYMPIC sport. Industry worth $1B+ with an
estimated 175M+ fans around the world.
As you read the book, you’ll learn how to apply the authors’
recommended pattern to pursue non-disruptive opportunities in a three basic
steps systematic way.
Step 1: How to identify and spot non-disruptive
opportunities that may be on the horizon or right in front of you. How to assess
the size of the market potential and how to scope the opportunity so it becomes
practically and emotionally feasible to act on.
Step 2: How to find a way to unlock the opportunity
by using an assumption implication analysis, which allows you to get clear on
all the unspoken assumptions that have blocked the opportunity and how to
reframe them to find a way to unlock it.
Step 3: How to secure the needed enablers and
realize the opportunity in a high-value, low-cost way.
