Why is it important for innovation and technology to know how many cups of coffee you had today? And why do grown companies but also start-ups fail on successfully turning ideas into value-generating innovations?

Because I was interested in what can make a difference between success and failure I spoke with Chris Massot an expert in business and experience innovation - as well as a friend.

Traditional organizational models are breaking under modern market dynamics. As Roger Martin recently shared in a podcast, “companies have gotten so big that it really is a challenge to manage them with techniques that would have been used widely 20–25 years ago.” Today’s organizations face what Roger Martin colorfully describes as “mongol hordes” — thousands of VC-backed startups continuously attacking their markets. In this environment, the old way of organizing through bureaucratic hierarchies and functional silos cannot keep up. Platform Organizations instead create what Martin calls “strategic choice chartering”: Industry Platforms define broad domains of interest where the organization is confident that it can leverage significant strategic assets. Micro-enterprises are empowered and accountable for identifying and pursuing specific opportunities within them and setting their own objectives. VAMs provide the framework for negotiating and agreeing on specific market opportunities within these domains.
