DIWANIYA Adaptive Innovation Metaverse (AIM) framework [J.R. Schütt et al. – 2015]: “Finite but Unbounded”

Background:

IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS, THEORY MEETS PRACTICALITY IN AN EXTRAORDINARY WAY 
Drawing inspiration from the esteemed Delft University of Technology, we have advanced Berkhout’s Cyclic Innovation Model [Guus A.J. Berkhout et al – 2002] to unprecedented levels.

Welcome to the ‘Circles of Change’—an innovative blend of closed and open networked innovation models, creating complex and adaptable systems. Envision a captivating interplay of interconnected CoCs, each functioning at varied levels of complexity and hierarchy, all within a transformative ‘innovative milieu’.

At the heart of this groundbreaking method is the 4P Change scheme: Product, Process, Position, and Paradigm. These are the four pivotal paths that reveal the intricacies of Innovation Strategy.

The ‘system world’, renowned for its efficiency and internal adaptability, lays the groundwork, simultaneously embracing the dynamic ‘Red Queen’ realities. Within this realm, structures, rules, and single-loop learning merge, forming essential nodes for connection and communication with neighboring CoCs. This vibrant interaction fosters external flexibility, giving rise to ‘systems of systems’ and facilitating system transitions.

In this captivating landscape, BIC masters—entrepreneurs with BIC skills, designated business change managers, and BIC units—take charge. They become the architects of harmony, expertly linking decision centers, influencing various elements of the system, and maintaining a structured balance.

UNLEASH THE POWER OF MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES

By combining multiple perspectives and focused attention, a powerful approach emerges for prioritizing, balancing and planning planned change initiatives.

BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE - WHY OF CHANGE

UNDERSTAND AND CATEGORIZE YOUR BUSINESS’S TRUE POTENTIAL

What is the driving force behind your business? What distinguishes your company from the competition? The secret to success in today’s competitive market is the adoption of a “Business Value Strategy.”

Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersma’s three value disciplines—Operational Excellence, Customer Intimacy, and Product Leadership—set the stage, but we go a step further by introducing a fourth vital discipline: Corporate Coherence.

Achieving greatness in business demands bold decision-making and excelling in one of these innovation milieux, while also staying adept in the others. Our vision, however, transcends mere profit. We are committed to values that contribute to societal betterment. This ‘inside-out / outside-in’ equilibrium is the key to elevating your business to unprecedented levels.

CHANGE PERSPECTIVE - HOW OF CHANGE

PRIORITIZE CHANGE WITH CLARITY AND VISION

In the ever-shifting and unpredictable VUCA environment, change is not just a possibility—it’s a certainty. The key to ensuring your organization thrives in these tumultuous times lies in mastering the “how of change.”

It’s crucial to steer clear of the common pitfalls like conflicting priorities and sub-optimization that often hinder organizations. Take control of your future with a well-defined “Business Change Strategy.” Inspired by McKinsey’s acclaimed Three Horizons model [2000], we introduce three pioneering business strategies: Expansion, Exploitation, and Exploration. We customize each strategy to align with your market dynamics (market, technology and regulatory uncertainties) and your organization’s adaptability.

The change strategy answers the question of how decisions can be made under organizational uncertainty (socio-political and managerial uncertainties). The goal is to recognize the nature of the situation (Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic or even Confusion) and choosing the appropriate change management approach – whether it’s transactional, transitional, or transformational.

INNOVATION PERSPECTIVE - WHAT OF CHANGE

BALANCE AND PLAN THE ART OF CHANGE

While the Business Change Strategy charts the course of change, the “Business Innovation Strategy” dives deep into the complexities of change initiatives.

By adopting a Business Innovation Strategy, organizations can ensure that their projects not only meet basic delivery criteria but also contribute meaningfully to their overall goals and objectives. This approach helps in creating projects that are not just successful in execution but also in delivering lasting value and driving innovation.

The strategy emphasizes the importance of assessing how each project, regardless of its type, aligns with the organization’s approach to market involvement, whether it be market-driven or market driving. It evaluates initiatives across four key dimensions: Novelty, Technology, Complexity, and Pacing (urgency), enabling organizations to understand and categorize the level of change (depth) – whether it’s a first-order, second-order, or third-order change initiative. Furthermore, it delves into the scale of change (range) – whether it’s small-scale, medium-scale or large-scale.

This multifaceted approach helps in uncovering the added value (essence) for the organization and its customers and the impact of each type of initiative. Together, this contributes to selecting the most appropriate project approach – whether it’s incremental, architectural, disruptive, or radical and project management style, be it traditional, agile, or a hybrid approach.

POWER LIES NOT IN WHAT YOU SAY, BUT IN WHAT YOU DO

THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF THE BUSINESS INNOVATION & CHANGE MANAGER

Change is the heartbeat of progress in any business. Whether it’s a grand program or a small initiative, business change is ever-present, driving us forward.

But when complexity arises, when the stakes are high, that’s where the real magic happens. The BIC manager emerges as a crucial agent for transformation. Adopting a holistic approach and employing systemic strategies, this expert navigates complex business landscapes to instigate revolutionary ideas and comprehensive organizational evolution. Fueled by a relentless passion for innovation and a steadfast focus on forward momentum, the BIC manager unlocks the full scope of your company’s capabilities. The BIC manager operates both in a strategic capacity, such as a holistic program manager, as well as in a more tactical and operational role, like that of a systemic project manager.

BIC management is essential for both established enterprises and ambitious startups across all industries. Particularly vital for companies facing rapidly evolving markets, disruptive technologies, or intense competition, The BIC manager can revolutionize your business. Startups will benefit by instilling an innovation-driven culture from the outset, while established companies can leverage the expertise to reinforce market leadership and explore new avenues of growth.

OUR PPM APPROACH

The BIC initiative is just the beginning—now it’s time to ignite the fire of successful implementation.

While the fundamentals of implementation may seem familiar, the truth is, each organization has its unique culture and human dimensions of change. Ignoring these forces can lead to disastrous consequences like strategic drift and ineffective strategy execution. But fear not, we’ve got your back.

As systemic project or programme manager – generally referred to as BIC agent – we possess the power to uncover what’s truly needed and take decisive action to eliminate any barriers in your way. We bring color and life to the innovation management process, guiding you through the four vital phases with ease.

Our approach is holistic and tactical/operational, combining the power of the soft-system approach, which focuses on social and human dimensions of change, with the precision of the hard-system approach, addressing tasks, processes, systems, and structures.

DIWANIYA Systemic Project Management process [J.R. Schütt et al. – 2015]

Background:

SYSTEMIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Traditional project management theories and practices focus on handling the three main constraints: time, budget, and scope, with concrete outputs. While effective for planning and executing changes in established operations, this industrial model falls short in today’s knowledge-based global economy.

The mismatch between this simple model and complex realities is the main issue, not the knowledge itself.

Many attempts to expand this model with additional dimensions of complexity have failed due to its mechanical nature, addressing objective facts (schedule, budget) and subjective stakeholders (sponsors, users) separately. Bridging this gap is crucial for project success and professional growth. Drawing from over a decade of experience in intricate business setups, DIWANIYA integrated knowledge from diverse fields to enhance project management.

We outline the practitioner’s approach to extend traditional project management for organizational complexities. It treats the practitioner, the social context, and professional responsibilities as an interconnected system. Unlike traditional mechanical methods, this holistic approach—termed ‘systemic project management’—focuses on relationships to drive individual component success.

THE COLOR CODES OF CHANGE

Each process stage has its own dominant color representing a specific belief system on how change works and which kind of interventions are most effective.
