“An innovative idea has a structure to it, having patterns. Whenever an idea is pitched it needs to be assessed if it is sustainable innovation or disruptive innovation. Sustainable innovations primarily benefit the industry and organizations but disruptive innovations benefit the consumers at large” she said addressing the young entrepreneurs.
“Disruptive innovation serves the latent unmet need of an overserved consumer market, through a product with limited features today, lower profit margins, and a limited consumer base. But as it continues to add features, it disrupts the incumbent players” she added.
She suggested Clayton Christensen’s Disruptive Innovation framework as one such tool that can help innovators, startups, and investors assess their ideas, products, and solutions.
