Preparing Your Business For Game- Changing
Disruptors - WalkWater Talent Advisors We have
seen many big names in the industry fail at some
point in their careers and from these failures,
theres a lot to be learnt. One important lesson
learnt is that there is a noticeable
requirement of the innovation in technology,
digitization, and customization. Without such
innovation, you are sure to fail, or lag behind.
Lets help you know how you, as a business, can
prepare for game-changing disruptors. Well
explain to you the same, with the help of
examples about well-known names, like Xerox.
Innovation is important When an engineer employer
by Xerox invented the first computer in the
1970s, the board decided not to invest in the
manufacture of such computers, thinking that
Xerox was only meant for copy machines. This was
one of the biggest mistakes they made, which is
clearly depicted in Smith and Alexanders book
Fumbling the Future How Xerox Invented, then
Ignored, the First Personal Computer. The
lesson that we all can learn from this mistake is
2
that a business cannot keep making money, using
the same old technology. Innovation is certainly
important!
Remaining flexible and staying open for new
opportunities Xerox, apart from the engineer who
invented the PC, failed to predict the future
demand for computers, which clearly shows how
important it is to regularly interrogate fixed
assumptions and anticipating customer
requirements, remaining favourably flexible. And
for this, it is important that you keep an eye on
the latest developments, listen to your
customers, find out what the need, and take the
time to consider how global changes may disrupt
your industry in the future. Every disruption
must be viewed as exciting prospects to
better-up your strategic game, rather than
considering them as threats. Doing so will help
your company stay more sustainable than those
who cling rigidly to outdated assumptions. We
can clearly learn from the mistake made by Xerox
how important it is to stay flexible and open to
the possibility of more than one company vision.
Securing appropriate talent Last but not the
least, it is also important to secure the
appropriate talent. It is clear that a strong
foundation comprised of optimal skills,
resources, and knowledge is required, in order to
position a business for disruptors. Ask yourself
whether you have high-performing and innovative
teams in place. Check for any skills that you
think are missing in your team. Investigate
whether your technologies anticipate customer
requirements. Also, check if you need to recruit
new talent or create alliances. Consider
partnering with a professional recruitment firm
to make sure you have the most relevant talent
model for success. WalkWater

rigorous thinking about possible futures and the

any business for possible disruptors. Contentment
with what you have, and reluctance to bring in
innovation can leave your business left behind,
with your competitors adapting to change, and
thus racing ahead.
