How Do Established Organizations Innovate Without Breaking the Core?
Your next growth engine isn’t a moonshot, it’s hidden in the assets you already own. In this episode of Digital Pulse, we explore how mature organizations can innovate without dismantling the trust and stability they’ve built over decades.
Discover the Innovation Pillars Framework and why Pillar 2—Strategic Adaptation is the sweet spot for incumbents. Learn how leaders can recombine proven technologies, retain IP, and strengthen product management to escape the commoditization trap. From Nintendo’s Game Boy strategy to Amazon’s AWS pivot, history shows that lateral thinking beats chasing bleeding-edge tech.
