How many geniuses do
we have in the room?
Let’s take the next 60 seconds to find out…
9#ImplementInnovation
A bat and a ball together cost £1.10p.
If the bat costs £1 more than the ball, how much does the
ball cost?
20 seconds
10
Question 1
#ImplementInnovation
If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets.
How long would it take 100 machines to make 100
widgets?
20 seconds
11
Question 2
#ImplementInnovation
In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch
doubles in size.
If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake,
how long would it take for the patch to cover half the lake?
20 seconds
12
Question 3
#ImplementInnovation
Q : A bat and a ball together cost £1.10p. If the bat costs £1 more than the ball how much does the ball cost?
A : If you do this quickly you leap to the 10p answer, which is wrong because Ball 10p + Bat £1.10 = £1.20. Bat must be £1
more. Answer is 5p.
Q: If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets. How long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
A: 5 minutes.
Q: In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake,
how long would it take for the patch to cover half the lake?
A: The patch doubles in size every day and so on the 47th day the patch will be half the size it is on the 48th day.
How many of these ‘easy’ questions did you get wrong under pressure?
That’s why IMPLEMENTATION MANAGEMENT is so important!

Preparation Prevents P*?@ Poor Performance
Keep the troops fed and watered
It’s funny… the harder I practiced, the luckier I got
Know when to hit reverse
Love a good dashboard
Get the complex stuff simplified BEFORE you start
Is everyone really ready?
Is it really that bad?

Introduction
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016
The Innovator’s Dilemma – C.M Christensen
The reason why great companies fail is that good
management itself was the root cause. Managers played
the game the way its supposed to be played. The very-
decision making and resource allocation processes that
are key to the success of established companies are the
very processes that reject disruptive technologies:
listening to customers; tracking competitors actions
carefully; and investing resources to design and build
higher performance, higher quality products that will
yield greater profit. These are the reasons why great
firms stumbled or failed when confronted with disruptive
technology change.
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016
The impact of disruptive technology on the competitive landscape
Best-of-breed technology,
particularly around scaling,
efficient operation,
reliability available readily
and cheaply
Global and mobile access
to applications and data
where and when needed
Venture capital or private
equity is being used as a
competitive advantage over
incumbents
Internet models, social
media and global markets
allow new entrants to scale
quickly
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016
The challenges facing corporates looking to innovate
Establishing a vision
Establishing a structure
Achieving incentivisation & buy – in

The Enemies of Innovation
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016
"I think there is a
world market
for maybe
five computers."
T. Watson, IBM general manager,1943
"This 'telephone' has too
many defects to be seriously
considered a way
to communicate.
This device is completely
non value adding for us."
Western Union, 1876
"Who the hell wants
to hear actors talk?"
H. Warner, Warner Bros, 1927, talking
about silent movies decline
“We stand on the
threshold of
rocket mail”
Arthur Summerfield President of US
Postal Service, speaking in 1959William Preece, Head of the British
post office, 1879
"Guitar bands are
on their way out."
Decca, refusing the future Beatles, 1962
The roadblocks to innovation: company and industry dogmas
“Here we have a
superabundance of
messengers, errand
boys, and things of
that kind”
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016

Date | April 2016
How can you create a culture of innovation?
People need to accept;
1. We’re in the dark and must focus on problems
2. Everything is assumed and we need to experiment
3. Uncertainty is reduced through real feedback
© Pollen8 2016
We must uncover uncertainty and create value.
Date | April 2016
Problem first thinking
© Pollen8 2016
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2016
“If I had an hour to solve
a problem I'd spend 55
minutes thinking about
the problem and 5 minutes
thinking about solutions."
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2017
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2017
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2017
Date | April 2016
Assumptions & Minimal Viable Product aka experimenting and reducing uncertainty
Assumptions are the first step towards breaking down the grand vision into its
component parts. But they can also be dogmas, or ideas which everyone shares
which if questioned, could present exciting opportunities.
“The Minimum Viable Product is that version of a new product which allows a
team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with
the least effort."
Date | April 2016
Example with a company we all know : Dropbox
Problem Statement
Opportunity
Assumptions
MVP
KPI’s
I need to store and share files. I can’t share big files via email and the
only simple way to share them is via a USB drive.
Simplify life for people around the world. Dropbox lets people bring
their docs, photos and videos everywhere and share them easily.
1) People want to share files online
2) People want to access files remotely and have them sync across devices
3) The current alternatives are also a pain point for a significant number of customers
Create a demo video illustrating how one could share files online with
an option to sign up for a ‘coming soon’ beta release
How many people signed up?
Date | April 2016 © Pollen8 2017
Find your
important
assumptions
Test them with real
experiments! MVP it.
(Good enough is better
than perfect)
Get
feedback,
learn and
iterate
Get as much
criticism as you
can and be open
new ideas
