This PPT slide, part of the 31-slide Digital Transformation: Challenges in Change & Organization PowerPoint presentation, titled "Ambidexterity Challenge – Overview" addresses a critical issue faced by organizations during digital transformation. It highlights the concept of "ambidextrous" organizations, which are defined as those capable of managing organizational separation while maintaining a cohesive senior team. This dual capability allows them to integrate various conflicting operating models and micro-organizations effectively.
The overview section emphasizes that studies indicate ambidextrous organizations excel in driving breakthrough innovations, which are essential for impactful digital transformation. The slide outlines the necessity of reconciling 2 opposing operating models: the traditional core organization, which relies on established systems, and the emerging businesses that thrive on digital advancements. This reconciliation is vital for achieving structural agility.
The details section categorizes 3 forms of innovation that ambidextrous organizations can pursue. Incremental innovations involve minor enhancements to existing products and operations, aimed at increasing efficiency and customer value. Architectural innovations focus on applying new technologies or processes to fundamentally alter business elements. Disruptive innovations represent a more radical shift, often redefining industry standards and rendering previous products obsolete.
The concluding remark underscores the challenges large organizations face in becoming ambidextrous, suggesting that while the concept is beneficial, the practical implementation can be complex. This slide serves as a valuable resource for executives considering how to navigate the intricacies of organizational change and innovation in the context of digital transformation. It provides a framework for understanding the balance required between maintaining traditional operations and embracing new, agile methodologies.
