You’re probably familiar with the iconic business book The Innovator’s Dilemma. Your survey answers tell us that your organization is – for now – stuck on the wrong side of the dilemma. Your organization’s focus is solely on the performance of the current quarter.
As competitors launch new initiatives and both your markets and technology change rapidly, very little changes inside your organization. You may be “comfortable” in where you are, or fearful of making the wrong moves towards growth. Unfortunately, there are few rewards to being stewards of the predictable path.
This “head’s down” approach is risky as other players in your market thrive. In order to achieve growth and continue to stay relevant, you have to break free from the Protector mindset.

- Focused
