- Most theories are complex and are too generic.
- Most information is biased and surface-level marketing content from conferences, solution providers and consultancies.
- Evidence is often limited or missing.
- Even the best models and frameworks require translation and context to drive action.
- The required know-how will not come from books or articles.
- After all, there is no silver bullet.
- With digital and service transformation in industries, new solutions and business models emerge faster than evidence.
- Waiting for evidence increases risk of falling behind (new) competition.
Even the Best Models Need Translation to Drive Action
Even when teams have access to frameworks or models, they often:- Struggle to translate them into their context.
- Lack the know-how needed to apply them in practice.
- Discover there is no single silver-bullet solution.
This gap widens when transformation requires coordination across multiple functions and business units.
Markets Move Faster Than Evidence
In fast-changing industries, new solutions and service business models emerge quicker than reliable evidence.
- Waiting for proof can mean falling behind new competitors.
- Acting without foresight risks fragmented or misaligned investments.
Manufacturers often lack the tools and shared insights to anticipate what’s next.
Without foresight, decisions become reactive instead of strategic, eroding momentum.
When Knowledge Gaps Persist, Transformation Slows
Without the right knowledge at the right time:
- Teams lose shared direction.
- Siloes grow between functions.
- Decisions lack context and confidence.
- Growth opportunities go unrealised.
- Talented professionals feel undervalued and disengaged.
Knowledge and Organisational Learning Are the Differentiators
The real challenge isn’t just deciding what services to offer. It’s building the organisational ability to learn, align, and act faster than the market shifts.
Without that, transformation loses momentum—no matter how strong the vision.
