According to authors such as Jane McGonigal ("Reality is Broken") and Jesse Schell ("The Art of Game Design"), games will soon dominate our business, professional, and personal lives. I concur with that vision. In fact, games are increasingly creeping into product and business model innovation. However, many of these games are superficial. In order to create more meaningful games, we have to "Think Different" a la Steve Jobs. The web link below leads to an introductory article on why and how we…See More

What is Steve Jobs' greatest legacy?
It really depends on whom you ask. For me, it's not the iPhone. It's not the iPod. It's not iTunes. It's not even the iPad! For me, it's the Mission Statement of "We are here to put a dent in the…

- Alex,
I'd like to introduce you and other members of the community to a very simple but fascinating tool for visual modeling, analysis, brainstorming, and innovation. The tool, which I call the Infinitely Zoomable Page (IZP)" facilitates every aspect of business model analysis, design, innovation, and performance management. A specific application of IZP is the Zoomable Business Model (ZBM), which is a dashboard which integrates ideas from concepts and tools of business system modeling, value/supply chain, Six Sigma, and balanced scorecard. In short, the ZBM is a one-in-all tool for improving innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness of businesses.
I look forward to discussing and sharing ideas with as well as learning from the community.
Best,
Rod King, Ph.D.

THE CUSTOMER DNA MAP AND DASHBOARD

The late Steve Jobs was a genius at many things. For me, Jobs most enviable quality was his gift of deeply knowing people especially prospective customers. I believe that this quality of deeply knowing and emotionally connecting with people is at the heart of the phenomenal success of Jobs’s product portfolio at Apple. Just consider the Blue Ocean success of the following products: Apple II; Macintosh; iPod; iTunes; Apple Store; iPhone; App Store;…

Google. eBay. Amazon. And Facebook? These companies have been phenomenal business successes. But, how were they created? How are they managed? Can anyone systematically create a Google, an eBay, an Amazon, or a Facebook? Right now, it’s improbable. However, the odds for success are increasing.
In this posting, I briefly present my lens for looking at the black box of creating companies that achieve extraordinary disruptive innovation success. In storytelling or…
