The Power of Market-Creating Innovation Innovation is a commonly used buzzword, but it has lost a lot of value because of its ubiquity. What do we mean by innovation? What types of innovation are there? How can understanding the different types of innovation help us do better work? Market-creating innovations transform complicated and expensive products into products that are simple and affordable so that many more people in society can have access to them. In doing so, these innovations create a new market because they target non-consumers. Efosa Ojomo explains the critical role of market-creating innovations in not only serving as new growth engines for companies, but also as a foundation for sustained economic development of a region. Using theories and models developed by Professor Clayton Christensen and his team, Ojomo demonstrates how innovations that create new markets impact peoples' lives, and challenges us to change how we think about innovation in our organizations.

Bridging the Gap with Agile Learn how a large cloud-computing enterprise used Flawless ExecutionSM, a remarkably scalable agile business framework, across diverse business teams including their Marketing Team, Legal Team, C-Suite and even the Sales Group functional teams that are notorious for avoiding agile methodologies. As part of a major merger, the company sought to unite two sales teams that were not strategically aligned and didn't have a customer-focused mindset. Just as agile methodologies help developers keep the customer at the forefront of the conversation, this sales organization used the agile techniques and practices of Flawless ExecutionSM, to align around the customer's needs, scale best practices, and shift the culture to a more customer-centric mindset. Result: after an abysmal first half in 2016, the team rallied together after implementing Flawless Execution as their process of record over the summer and beat their sales forecast by 17% in Q4. This had an impact on morale for the 22,000-person company and even increased the stock price by 10%. This and other IILLearning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
