Why Strategic
Innovation?
© Marc Sniukas - Doujak Corporate Development
13. It all started with criticism of strategic management.
Content
• Too much focus on best practices, operational effectiveness and incremental improvements in cost
and quality
• Too much imitation of competitors‘ moves
• Too much holding on to one strategic position
• Operational effectiveness is NOT strategy
• „Herding“, clustering of companys around the most successful one
Process
• Strategy as incremental adaptation of last year‘s plan (no search for new opportunities,
differentiation, and new growth.
• Planning being too formal and analytical
• No creativity
• The assumption of linearity of the process
Tools
• Tools being too analytical
• Focus on control
• Tools were developed for a different purpose (analysis, planning and control)
• Conventional tools provide a snapshot of conventional wisdom
• „No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.“ General Collin Powell

31. „…the real barrier to strategic innovation is
more than denial – it„s a matrix of deeply
held beliefs about inherent superiority of a
business model; beliefs that have been
valitated by millions of customers; beliefs
that have been enshrined in physical
infrastructure and operating handbooks;
beliefs that have hardened into religious
convictions; beliefs that are held so
strongly, that nonconforming ideas seldom
get considered, and when they do, rarely
get more than grudging support.“
Gary Hamel, The Future of Management
32. „The organizational designs
that support innovation are
very different from those that
support delivery of current
performance.“
John Roberts, Professor
Stanford Graduate School of Business
