We’re doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change—inch by inch, day by day.
– Barack Obama
In 2012, the Eastman Kodak Company, the firm that dominated still and motion photography for over a century, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The rise of digital imaging had eaten away at their business until they were forced to sell off their legacy photographic film business. Yet, it was Kodak itself that had invented the digital camera more than 30 years earlier… However, they let the technology languish in a lab in order to protect their existing film stock and processing business. In doing so, they squandered a decades-long lead because they didn’t have a strategy for disruptive innovation.
Disruptive innovation fails to reach the market for any number of reasons: fear of self-disruption, internal culture clashes, inability to scale, lack of resources (particularly financing), and more. That is why, it’s critical to have a strategy for bringing innovation to market.
