La creatividad como herramienta competitiva

―incumbents against the insurgents, the old guard versus
the vanguard,‖
―The age of progress has come to an end‖
– Employees have found themselves working harder and harder
to achieve less and less
– Employees around the world have been strapped to the wheel
of continuous improvement
– we are nonetheless as expendable as worn-out machines
―The age of revolution has come‖
– Pace of ―Internet time,‖ where time is measured in dog years
– For change has changed. No longer is it additive. No longer
does it the age of progress move in a straight line, is
discontinuous, abrupt.
– The cost of storing a megabyte of data has dropped from
hundreds of dollars to essentially nothing
Gary Hamel is the originator
(with C. K. Prahalad) of the
concept of core
competencies. He is a
visiting Professor of Strategic
Management at London
Business School. His
academic standing took a
dent soon after publication of
the hardback version of
Leading the Revolution, in
which he had written a very
positive profile of Enron." “The power of incumbency versus the power of
Imagination»
Santiago Hoyos S.
El mundo de ayer era de los factores de producción, el mundo de hoy es del conocimiento, y el mundo del futuro de los que imaginan
The advantages of incumbency—global distribution, respected brands, a deep pool of talent, cash
flow—granted them the luxury of time.
– Mitsubishi, ABB, Citigroup, General Electric, DaimlerChrysler, DuPont,
– Apple Computer got an early start in the microcomputer business, IBM quickly reversed Apple’s lead
when it threw its worldwide distribution might behind the PC. But in a world of discontinuous change, a
company that misses a critical bend in the road may never catch up.
– Motorola, the world leader in the cellular telephone business in the early 1990s, missed the shift to
digital wireless technology by a couple of years—Nokia wins. Now Google acquires Motorola.
– Nokia & BB, missed the market/technology signals.
– MARKET: Royal Dutch/Shell is one of the world’s premier oil companies. Yet one day Shell awoke to
find that a supermarket, Tesco, had become the largest retailer of ―petrol‖ in Britain, one of Shell’s
markets
– EMPLOYEES: When senior execs who used to work at AT&T, Apple, Xerox, Andersen
Consulting, and other venerable companies start leaving for the ―left coast,‖ .
In 1999, 25 percent of the Harvard MBA class went to work for companies with fewer than 50 people. Twenty-five
percent of Stanford’s MBA graduates went to work for companies with fewer than 25 employees.
– ASSETS: Ebay Internet auction firm, acquires the third largest auction house in the United States,
Butterfield & Butterfield.
“blink and you’ve missed a billion-dollar bonanza. They will first take your market,
then your employees, finally they will take your assests”

Never has incumbency
been worth less.

• Incremental innovation focused on a single component of
the business model. Product innovation is still important.
When, after years of trying, Clorox managed to create
lemon-scented bleach, it drove the category into double-
digit growth. And anyone who’s shaved with Gillette’s
Mach III razor knows why it commands a price premium.
• business concept innovation often has little to do with new
technology—think of IKEA, The Gap, Virgin Atlantic, and
many other innovators that are not technology pioneers.
• Internet is a tool, the means to an end… not the
purpose…therefore web-enabling old business models
Se necesita imagina nuevas formas para crear riqueza!
Today we are limited only by our imagination. Yet those who can
imagine a new reality have always been outnumbered by those who
cannot.
changing the rules the game.‖ Fully 62 percent of the CEOs said the
newcomers had won by changing the rules. Despite this, how many
times have you heard a CEO or divisional vice president say, ―Our real
problem is execution‖?
Internet telephony is an entirely different business concept than
dedicated voice networks.

• Las técnicas creativas son métodos que
facilitan la creatividad en una persona o en
un grupo de personas…crean además el
ambiente y abren los poros del cerebro.
• Sólo el 14% de los CEOs alemanes son

3% de ellos las adopta.

• Five hours of an employee's 45-hour week can be
used for personal projects, such as learning a skill or
developing an idea.
• To better capture nascent ideas, the company
launched IdeaMax, a Digg-like social network that
lets any employee submit, comment, and vote on
ideas. Since it was launched last year, IdeaMax has
collected 12,000 ideas, several hundred of which
have become projects. "Every quarter, I review the
top 10 most popular ideas," says Krishnan. "The
wisdom of crowds works for us."

Instrucciones para Eliminar Supuestos Elabore una lista de todos los supuestos en que está inmersa su industria ( no su empresa, sino la industria ). De esta lista, revise cuáles de esos supuestos pueden ser eliminados por su empresa o su área de trabajo, para mejorar su desempeño, ganar eficiencia, reducir costos o para generar diferenciación.

Un ejemplo Lista de supuestos propios de la industria
de las Aerolíneas Comerciales
En la industria de las aerolíneas a todos los pasajeros les son asignadas sillas. En la industria de las aerolíneas todas las empresas ofrecen trayectos múltiples ( Miami-Dallas, Dallas-Nueva York ). En la industria de las aerolíneas las sillas de los aviones todas están organizadas de la misma forma. En la industria de las aerolíneas no existe el autoservicio como una forma proveer al pasajero.

Instrucciones para Eliminar Supuestos
Elimine supuestos: Para ello, utilice la pregunta: ¿ Y quién dijo que no…? ¿Y quién dijo que no podemos eliminar
la asignación de sillas ?
¿Y quién dijo que no podemos eliminar vuelos
multitrayectos y enfocarnos únicamente en los
monotrayectos ? R/ El hecho de haber eliminado la asignación de sillas redujo el
tiempo de chequeo de cada pasajero de tres minutos a treinta
segundos, en promedio, dejando atrás las ineficiencias y
reduciendo considerablemente el costo por pasajero.

Ejercicio para Simplificar Procesos
Las áreas de muchas empresas con el tiempo tienden a complicar sus tareas y asignaturas. Esto por lo general aumenta los niveles de ineficiencia y redunda en menores resultados. Es importante detectar y eliminar estas complejidades.
Haga una lista de las actividades que debería desarrollar su área de
trabajo para acercarse a su

Innovación
22
La innovación es ―la implementación de un producto
(bien o servicio), o proceso, nuevo o
significativamente mejorado, un nuevo método de
comercialización, o un nuevo método organizacional en
las prácticas de negocio, la organización del lugar de
trabajo o las relaciones externas‖ (Manual de Oslo,
2005)
La innovación se da cuando el conocimiento
generado se logra incorporar al proceso productivo
y se adiciona valor para la organización o para la
sociedad, cuando las ideas evolucionan hasta
convertirse en realidades apropiadas por la sociedad o
el mercado.
Definición Innovación
Santiago Hoyos S.
Continuación…
23
La innovación impulsa transformaciones productivas y
sociales dado que es el pilar de la competitividad y la
productividad de las empresas, regiones y países, y la fuente
de soluciones prácticas y efectivas a dinámicas sociales
complejas.
La innovación es el producto de una red de agentes
sociales, desde los proveedores hasta los usuarios y clientes,
desde las empresas hasta los centros de investigación y
universidades, y desde el Estado hasta la actitud
emprendedora de cada ciudadano.

CONECTAR: Con esos sentimientos y necesidades,
con el «Insight» del pueblo de US.
DISPUESTO A COMPARTIR: Darles elementos a los
jóvenes para que jueguen según sus reglas, se
apropien de la publicidad y la campaña.
RECOMPENSAR: Darles visibilidad a sus
comentarios, dejar que los videos se vuelvan
virales, darle puntos como Niekfuel.

• Tiene que ver en integrar recursos internos
o externos alrededor de oportunidades. Y
estar dispuestos en compartir con terceros la
PI
• La innovación abierta requiere ser
canalizada dentro de un proceso interno
desde principio hasta fin.
• Para usar el poder de la apertura, hay que
crear ecosistemas que lo diagrame según
su categoría para poder administrado y
aprovecharlo.
Dadas estas implicaciones, tener innovación abierta no es equivalente a tener participación activa en facebook, youtube, twiter y otros canales para hacer para hacer «crowdsourcing», User-driven innovation…. hay que definir una estrategia, proceso y sistema que mejor se ajusta a sus capacidades y necesidades.
