![]() This can also be understood as lack of strategy, as sound business strategy requires clear objectives and also the exclusion of the exploitation of certain opportunities, in order to focus resources and investments. competing priorities / poor focus, too many projects – just as one subcategory of the lack of project management, the lack to focus on the most promissing projects and to consolidate the visionary ideas is critical to innovative organisations.A lack of project management backfires with delayed market launches and blown budgets. Especially for tech start-ups it can become a challenge, to manage the transition from the visionary state to the next level. Sound project management is required to steer the project through the increasingly accelerating business process. Poor project management during development – whereas the initial phase of vision and prototyping is marked by creativity and a great deal of freedom for trial and error in the field of R&D, obviously, during the implementation and go-to-market phase, timelines and budget restrictions kick in.From my own experience, finance is of course most crucial for success, though, I’d reframe this from “lack of funding” to “inadequate funding”, including also situations of excess cash leading to scenarios of over investment, being just as critical and dangerous for the growing organization as the opposite.Ģ.) lack of organisational performance: If not failing in business planning (see above), failures in implementation and execution are easily root cause for default. ![]() lack of finance – is said to be the third reason for failure.Competition never sleeps, hence, success factor for innovation is (et al) time to market and the cadence of iterations to deliver innovation to the consumers. Only, when relevant marketshare is gained and retained (!) the threat relaxes. Hence, the threats of substitution, copy or becoming subject to acquisition leads to erosion of differential criteria. underestimating competition – for most fields of business, competitive advantage is a combination of characteristics, of which, none is sustain.Whilst reaching commercial success, crossing the chasm and succeeding in mass markets is absolutely critical. For innovators, it is likely to be a victim to a confirmation bias and feedback their ideas preferably with the group of the technological enthusiasts. As proven by research, the technological enthusiasts (as described by Everrett Roger as “the innovators” and “early majority”) have significantly different expectations for products and services than mass market consumers. On a product/service level, the question changes from “can do?” to “needs to do!” This is specifically important to “cross the chasm”. To create groundbreaking innovation, this might be vital however, not to miss the switch to change scope for customer needs is core. failure to understand the needs of the customer – especially technical innovators are observed to focus their start-up initially fully on the product.1.) lack of market anticipation and customer focus: The most usual reason for failure is a mismatch of business planning, resources, and the market requirements.
