This document summarizes reasons why organizational change efforts often fail and ways they can succeed. It discusses 17 common reasons for failure or success, including: a lack of clear performance focus; not having a compelling case for change; failing to engage pivotal groups; insufficient leadership willingness to change; causing more disruption than needed; and bypassing formal change management and communications plans. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing an organization's current state, keeping project information confidential, and communicating details of changes clearly. Addressing these factors can help ensure organizational redesigns are "done right" and achieve their performance goals.
Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy

WHAT IS STRESS?
Stress
1. A specific response
by the body to a
stimulus, as fear or
pain, that disturbs or
interferes with the
normal physiological
equilibrium.
2. Physical, mental, or
emotional strain or
tension.
51. 5/11/2021 51
Stress is not in our
environment…
…it is what we
perceive in our
mind and body.
55. 5/11/2021 55
POSITIVE / NEGATIVE
Stress in and of itself is neither
positive nor negative.
It is our perception of that
stimulus which determines
whether a situation is stressful.
Some event that is exciting and
pleasurable to one person may
be painfully stressful to another.
58. 5/11/2021 58
RESISTANCE
The body tries to cope and adapt to
the continued stress and begins the
process of repairing any damage
caused by the stress.
If the stress can be overcome the
body repairs the damage and the
physical signs disappear.
Resistance to stress is increased
each time it’s dealt with leaving us
stronger than before.
59. 5/11/2021 59
EXHAUSTIO
N
If there is no relief from the stress,
the body and mind cannot repair
the damage.
This can result in emotional,
mental, and physical problems.
