Trend Forecasting for the Disruption Age
Big Player strategies very often are not able to achieve sales success: the cause is the inability to understand the real meaning of change (of Trends). It is necessary to ● understand the complexity of the interactive evolution of a system like the Market ● to go beyond the current Marketing.
∙What disruption essentially is
► The concept of disruption is not an “invention” of someone, but the description of a real phenomenon that affects our civilization. ► THE DISRUPTION IS IN ITSELF A NEUTRAL CONCEPT: it is positive for those who adapt to changes, and strongly negative for who remains on previous Models.
Business problems: the difference between original and current marketing
The contraction in sales derives from the basic set-up of company strategies, and not from contingent critical factors.. It is necessary to understand the difference between the original conception of Marketing and the current conception of it. ● Marketing originally operates before the product definition ● current marketing has an opposite action: it presents itself to the potential Customer having already with a product, and tries to find for it a reason to purchase the product
Why the big companies cannot innovate within them [2]
Today, Companies try to innovate by overcoming the sense of certainty.
But THE SENSE OF CERTAINTY – THANKS TO ITS VISION – IS PRECISELY WHAT LEADS THE START UP TO CREATE INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS.
∙Why the big companies cannot innovate within them (Disruptive mindset) [1]
It is useless to try to bring innovation into companies that are not themselves innovated (which are structured on an obsolete mindset). The innovation…
∙The concept of Innovation (introduction to the Disruptive Innovation) [1]
THE CONCEPT OF INNOVATION IN ITSELF MUST BE RADICALLY CHANGED.
Innovation based on a continuous improvement of the products does not work when in History there are radical changes (as it was, for example, in the Industrial Revolution, or as it happens now).
*Towards a radically new model of Industry 4.0: introduction to a Smart Fabrication plan (FabLab 2.0)
The Fab Labs are part of the Market that is now at sunset (a failed Model). But from some qualities of Fab Labs new Business Models can be born (and new ways of Production/Distribution).
The misunderstanding on the real meaning of the Trends (Meta-trends and Fake-trends) [1]
Today there seems to be a lot of confusion about the trends that are developing on the Market. That is, for each Trend, there are…
The basic misunderstanding on Real (Disruptive) Innovation
Disruptive innovation is a “revolution” of the context in which it operates: this means “radical change” (from the roots) of culture, of the mindset used up to that point (change of operating principles, of conception of values, of a design approach, of types of communication, etc.).
The lack of a real Innovation
Today there is no real innovation (attractive and sustainable for Customer), both by the part of the Big Player of the Market and by the part of the Public Administration. ► the Public Administration continues to be oriented towards costly (insustanable) solutions ► the Big Players of the Market continue to develop a pseudo-innovation █ THE LACK OF A VALUE-ORIENTED INNOVATION (effectively useful and sustainable): it is necessary
TO RESET THE INNOVATION.
The new direction of the innovation (in particular for the Automotive)
At a time when Demand is radically changing, the Goals of Business strategies must be radically changed.
°The misunderstanding on Industry 4.0: towards Manufacturing 4.0
The “revolution” (dirsruption) that is transforming the world of production is a phenomenon radically different from the one today defined as Industry 4.0.
The change concerns not only the product, but everything connected to it. Today it is necessary: a rethinking ● the why of a product ● the ideation/design process ● the production/distribution process. We move on to a new era of the new Economy: the Context economy.
