DIWANIYA Business Innovation & Change Management (BIC)-model [J.R. Schütt et al. – 2015]: “Finite but Unbounded”

Background:

IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS, THEORY MEETS PRACTICALITY IN AN EXTRAORDINARY WAY 
Inspired by the renowned Delft University of Technology, we’ve taken Berkhout’s Cyclic Innovation Model [Guus A.J. Berkhout et al – 2002] to new heights.

Enter the realm of ‘Circles of Change’—a fusion of closed and open networked innovation models, forming intricate and adaptive systems. Picture a mesmerizing dance of interconnected CoC’s, each operating at different levels of complexity and hierarchy, all within the transformative ‘innovative milieux’.

At the core of this visionary approach lie the 4P Change scheme: Product, Process, Position, and Paradigm—four key change paths to unlock the secrets of Innovation Strategy.

The system world, a bastion of efficiency and internal flexibility, serves as the foundation, while embracing the ever-changing ‘Red Queen’ worlds. Here, structures, rules, and single-loop learning intertwine, acting as hubs of connection and communication with adjacent CoCs. This dynamic interplay leads to external flexibility, birthing systems of systems and paving the way for 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

PRIORITIZE YOUR BUSINESS’S TRUE POTENTIAL
What drives your business’s existence? Are you delivering unmatched value to your customers? And what sets your firm apart from the rest? 

The key to triumph in today’s competitive landscape lies in embracing a “Business Value Strategy”. Join the league of visionary companies that have transformed their fortunes with this game-changing approach. Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersma’s three value disciplines—Operational Excellence, Customer Intimacy, and Product Leadership—are just the beginning. We take it even further, introducing a fourth value discipline: Corporate Coherence.

Achieving success requires making daring decisions and excelling in one “circle of change” discipline, while also maintaining proficiency in the others. But it doesn’t stop there. We believe in more than just profits; our shared values extend to benefiting society as well. It’s the perfect ‘inside-out / outside-in’ balance that will propel your business to new heights.

CHANGE PERSPECTIVE - HOW OF CHANGE

BALANCE CHANGE WITH CLARITY AND VISION

In today’s dynamic and unpredictable VUCA environment, change is inevitable. But how do you ensure your organization’s success amid these challenges while leveraging your unique strengths? The answer lies in mastering the “how of change.”

Drawing inspiration from McKinsey’s renowned Three Horizons model [2000], we unveil three groundbreaking business strategies: Expansion, Exploitation, and Exploration. Using Stacey’s predictability and control matrix, each business strategy is made tailor-made to suit your market dynamics and your organization’s capacity to change. It sets clear boundaries for your performance and unleashes the potential of your portfolio of change initiatives.

But avoid the pitfalls of conflicting priorities and sub-optimization that plague many organizations. Take charge of your destiny by formulating a “Business Change Strategy”. This strategy focuses on identifying and implementing transactional, transitional or even transformational changes (categories) that are necessary to enhance the organization’s performance, efficiency, innovation, and competitive position. Having a business change strategy is crucial for a well-structured approach to implementing changes that benefit the organization. It aids in minimizing uncertainty, resistance, and errors that often accompany change processes.

INNOVATION PERSPECTIVE - WHAT OF CHANGE

PLAN THE ART OF CHANGE

Every change initiative is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Get ready to unleash the power of a sharply defined Business Innovation Strategy.

While the Business Change Strategy navigates the course of change, the “Business Innovation Strategy” delves into the intricacies of the change initiative, assessing the impact it will wield upon the organization and the wider landscape within which the organization operates (whether it pertains to first, second, or third-order change). The Business Innovation strategy not only unveils the nature of the ongoing change initiative (e.g. alterations in service, enhancements in product portfolio performance, etc.) but also precisely defines the type of change being undertaken (e.g. incremental, architectural of even radical) , achieved through an evaluation of your potential change initiatives across four crucial dimensions: Novelty, Complexity, Technology, and Pace.

But that’s not all—today’s success requires a holistic approach. Your Business Innovation Strategy should encompass not just the intended outcome and internal complexity levels but also the external complexity. Are you ready to forge value-adding partnerships with customers and suppliers through collaboration? Or will you embrace coopetition, working with competitors and complementors to create a competitive edge?

At its core, these three strategies converge into a cohesive portfolio strategy & delivery plan that expertly steers your organization through the ever-shifting tides of the business landscape. The business value strategy charts the course and sets the overarching objectives, while the change strategy fosters organizational agility and adaptability. Simultaneously, the innovation strategy fuels growth and competitive edge, propelled by imaginative and novel approaches. The intricate harmony among these strategies is pivotal, ensuring their synchronization to uphold your organization’s enduring growth and significance amidst the dynamic currents of the business realm!

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

THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF THE BUSINESS INNOVATION & CHANGE MANAGER

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.
