Innovation Ecosystem is crucial for guaranteeing success and to identify and<a href=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/browse\/marketplace\/organizational-conflict-management-6094\"> manage sources of conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional <a href=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/browse\/stream\/innovation\">Innovation Management<\/a> is unable to sustain itself in the face of contemporary needs.\u00a0 Dual Innovation has become a necessity for businesses to survive intense competition in today\u2019s markets.<\/p>\n<p>Dual Innovation refers to extending current Business Models in new directions, as well as creating completely novel Business Models at the same time.\u00a0 For such ambidexterity, organizations ought to have an Innovation Management Model that can aid them in innovating more effectively and viably.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary method of Dual Innovation is founded on 3 fields of Innovation and 2 strategic Directions of Action.<\/p>\n<p>The 2 strategic Directions of Action are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Adapt<\/strong>\u2014Modification of current core business or Operating Models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scale<\/strong>\u2014Ramping-up of authenticated, sweeping or even disruptive Innovation ideas, to convert them into substantial business impact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The 3 Fields of Innovation have been dubbed as Playing Fields, each with its unique

Fields of Innovation are a result of relationship and impact of Innovation with the core business.\u00a0 Proximities of the Playing Fields to the core business\u2014the reason for their uniqueness\u2014are with regard to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Business Model.<\/li>\n<li>Technological capabilities, and<\/li>\n<li>Implicitly, to time scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other factors for the peculiarity of each Playing Field relate to accounting, metrics, methods, tools, as well as organizational and personal needs.\u00a0 Each Playing Field requires <a href=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/browse\/marketplace\/leadership-skills-5362\">dedicated leadership and management<\/a> for it to be successful.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 Playing Fields of Innovation differ from each other in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Playing Field 1<\/strong>\u2014<strong>Optimize the Core<\/strong>\u2014involves a Centralized Ecosystem Strategy, key characteristics of which include precise and distinct problems\/solutions, partners with linkups to prevailing Business Model, emphasis on securing value, and a steady industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Playing Field 2<\/strong>\u2014<strong>Reshape the Core<\/strong>\u2014depends on a mixed Ecosystem Strategy i.e., following both Centralized and\/or Adaptive strategies simultaneously or successively.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Playing Field 3<\/strong>\u2014<strong>Create the New<\/strong>\u2014comprises of Adaptive Ecosystem Strategy, main conditions for which include partners with different competences, emphasis on value formation, and flexibility in terms of relatedness of industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The 2 Innovation streams\u2014i.e. Playing Field 1 and 3\u2014feed Playing Field 2 (Reshape the Core).<\/p>\n<p>Choosing the correct partner Ecosystem to prosper is necessary for the Innovation endeavors across the 3 Playing Fields.\u00a0 Adaptive Ecosystems are fit for evolving industries where there are substantial vagueness and the overall conditions are not yet definite. \u00a0Centralized Ecosystems are effective in developed industries and steady settings.<\/p>\n<p>Linking the distinctive scopes and rationales of the Playing Fields to the traits of the 2 Ecosystem types is how the right partner Ecosystem is adopted.<\/p>\n<p>Such linking up gives us the following 3 Models for Dual Innovation Ecosystem Management:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Model 1<\/strong>\u2014where both Business Unit and Corporate Focus result in combined Ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Model 2<\/strong>\u2014where Corporate Focus is only required since it is a Centralized Ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Model 3<\/strong>\u2014where Business Unit specific focus is needed to Explore new ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interested in learning more about Dual Innovation Ecosystem Strategy?\u00a0 You\u00a0can download\u00a0<a
