We will begin the live Zoom component of Tekedia Mini-MBA tomorrow. I will discuss the mission of firms and why innovation is indispensable to achieving whatever organizations set out to accomplish. Companies must continuously innovate to improve how they combine and recombine the factors of production to create products and services that solve market frictions.
Innovation is not an abstract ideal; it is an operational discipline. We will unpack the components of that process and how they work together to drive real outcomes.
What is symphonic innovation? It is innovation that is not domain-specific, but is anchored on a unified and harmonious approach in the deployment of technology and business components to accelerate productivity gains and cushion competitiveness. With Symphonic Innovation, you do not deploy and launch for blockchain, for example, only to be tripped by AI; you launch with a mindset that these technologies and business components are like extended musical compositions which must be carefully organized to make the orchestra an unforgettable experience.
How do you make business an orchestra like experience? You solve equations of markets. Together, we will solve them over 12 weeks.
Great Company = Awesome Products + Superior Execution
Innovation = Invention + Commercialization.
