The new Demand for Mobility
requires non-hi-tech products,
BUT SIMPLE PRODUCTS,
FOR PERSONAL USE,
producible at low cost.
A new direction in the development of Automotive
that, in the urban context,
radically redefines vehicles and ways of traveling
LiteMotive is a Sustainable Mobility Project which, on a global level, has a great competitive advantage compared to the current ones, being radically new compared to the current ones in each of its 4 specific components:
● low cost electric car, with highly innovative components, although very cheap, which has, in city traffic, comfort and performance comparable to that of a normal car. The car can be integrated into a
● car share system: totally innovative; that solves the problems of the current car-share such as that of redistributing the fleet, recharging the batteries, and much more.
● Low cost traffic management system, Open Source, adopts Hw and Sw consumer standards, which do not need infrastructure.
● “Revolutionary” Mobility Plan which defines a new system of mobility rules (applicable thanks to the technological solutions introduced by the Project), in which a “City without a car” is outlined, that is a new way of experiencing urban spaces (it is particularly attractive for local PAs).
For an effective assessment of the quality of a product's innovation, the "TrendInsights's Guidelines to Disruptive Innovation" was developed, which offers:
1) an essential description of the meaning and methods of Disruptive innovation, and
2) a methodology for those who want to start a Disruptive Innovation business.
3) a Table summarizing the quality of the Disruptive Innovation for an assessment of business innovation capacity (usable both for developing a new Business and for analyzing Business already in progress).
<see "TrendInsights's Guidelines to Disruptive Innovation" >
The topics above are developed in the Articles of the TrendInsignts site. And in particular in the Collection of Articles (see index below):
► Guidelines for Disrutpive Innovation; and
► Disruptive innovation in practice.
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION IN PRACTICE (Collection of Articles)
1. WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION? <see>
Chapters:
● The redefinition of the term Disruptive by its "inventor"
The essence of Disruptive Innovation it's not disruption (disorder, destruction); but it is THE "USEFUL VALUE" THAT THE PRODUCT DEVELOPES FOR THE CUSTOMER
● The two opposite meanings of the term Disruptive
Today the term disruptive indicates negative effects of disorder, destruction. But Disruptive Innovation is a great benefit for Business and Customers
● The causes of the current disruption
The paradox of Disruption is that it is the Incumbents who created it, depriving the market of the qualities needed to satisfy the Demand
● The need to develop new Business Rules
In order to develop an innovation capable of satisfying the new Demand it is necessary to understand what the qualities required for this Demand are
● A hint to the qualities of Disruptive Innovation products
The differences between the qualities of the two forms of innovation are radical: traditional product qualities and deeper forms of gratification are recovered.
2. THE “RESISTANCE” TO INNOVATION <see>
Chapters:
Today we read (increasingly often) that Disruptive Innovation is not what Business really needs. But the validity of Disruptive Innovation is verifiable (primarily by analyzing the facts). Chapters:
● The verifiability of the disruptive innovation validity
● The two fundamental questions about the validity of Disruptive innovation
● The absence of Startups of breakthrough success of Sustaining innovation
● The media essence of the success of Sustaining innovation
● The "resistance" to innovation
3. THE CHARADE OF THE DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION <see>
Companies are prisoners of the same narrative with which they deal with customers.
The incumbents have created a cultural dimension of "abstractness" that allows Marketers a "persuasion through fiction" to purchase (which induces the Customer to purchase products that have little or no use for it).
And now the Incumbents themselves live in this "mental bubble" (of abstract ideas), for which they are convinced by the "experts" (Managers, Consultants, Professors, etc.) to follow ways of developing strategies that they are disconnected from actual reality (ie to purchase a "product" lacking in quality for them).
GUIDELINES FOR DISRUTPIVE INNOVATION (Collection of Articles)
A Guideline illustrating which are the Rules followed by the Disrutpive Inovation Business.
It contains a Table that illustrates the Keypoints of Disruptive innovation, so that we can easily evaluate the response of a Business to the Rules of the Disrutpive Innovation.
Articles:
1. Basic Q&A on Disruptive innovation <see>
Aimed at a clarification of the negative and positive keypoints of Disrutpive Innovation: ● what are the causes of the current crisis, and ● what Disruptive innovation actually is in its specific aspects.
► Why we cannot get out of the current market crisis? / Why you cannot work on causes of problems? ► Some causes of the failure to change ► The change: some characteristic / Why the need for a disruptive innovation?
2. WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT Disruptive innovation <see>
Aimed at a clarification of what are the specific errors committed by the failing strategies. And what are key factors of the winning alternatives
► Considerations on models and roles of the new Business ► Overcoming the concept of Leader and follower ► Considerations on the form of innovation / The difference between the innovation models (sustaining/disruptive) ► The change of the business paradigm and mission / Purpose of business / Comparison between Disruptive and Sustaining Innovation: the case of “electric bikes”
3. Table for a assessments of Business innovation capacity <see>
SUMMARY TABLE OF KEYPOINTS OF THE TWO DIFFERENT FORMS OF INNOVATION (Disruptive / Sustaining), with which it is possibile TO ASSESS WHICH FORMS OF INNOVATION ARE PRESENT IN EVERY BUSINESS.
