Radical Innovation 
Step change in value creation 
Often characterised by ‘J’ curves 
‘Moonshots’ 
Perspective Shift

Disruptive Innovation 
Creates an entirely new market category 
or 
Destroys an existing market category and 
replaces it with something new
Open Innovation 
Outside in, Inside Out 
Challenge Model

Principles 
Define the problem 
Non linear 
Reduce time of feedback loops 
Embrace diversity

Problem Space Ideation Space Solution Space 
A well

Goals 
An idea or set of ideas to

Demonstration that the

Clarity about what

An implemented and

Problem Space
Problem Statements….? 
Responding to external (political/legal) changes in our operating 
environment 
Developing IT systems to cope with social media / changing customer 
habits & expectations 
Adapting or changing our core product (homes to let) 
Creating a positive image of our sector and customers
The problem is that….. 
1. not all our customers are able to cope with Welfare Reforms (esp. 
Universal Credit) 
2. our IT system can't deal with changing customer habits and 
expectations 
3. our product is losing its appeal, and this is compounded by legislative 
changes 
4. our image and worth (as a sector) is being devalued by those who 
wish to demonise our customers

Innovation Killers 
Our focus on short-term results drives 
out ideas that take longer to mature
Innovation Killers 
Fear of cannibalizing current business 
prevents investment in new areas
Innovation Killers 
Most of our resources are devoted to 
day-to-day business so that few remain 
for innovative prospects
Innovation Killers 
Innovation is someone else’s job and 
not part of everyone’s responsibilities
Innovation Killers 
Our efficiency focus eliminates free time 
for fresh thinking
Innovation Killers 
We do not have a standard process to 
nurture the development of new ideas
Innovation Killers 
Incentives are geared towards 
maximizing today’s business and 
reducing risk
Innovation Killers 
Managers are not trained to be 
innovation leaders
Innovation Killers 
Managers immediately look for flaws in 
new ideas rather than tease out their 
potential
Innovation Killers 
We look at opportunities through 
internal lenses rather than starting with 
customers’ needs and problems
