Australian companies have not been innovating enough. We know this from global surveys and benchmarking. In addition to that, when companies do work on innovation the bulk of the time and money tends to be spent on company, product or customer oriented innovation. Little time has been spent working on innovating the markets they supply by innovating prevailing business models in those markets. The result is Australian ASX 200 longevity has fallen from 36 years to 15 years between 1975 and 2015.
Some of the world’s biggest and most powerful companies have made an artform of market innovation. Amazon, Netflix and Apple in particular. Companies think they need to be coming up with new products or new technologies whereas what they need to be doing is leveraging the inventions of others to facilitate business model innovation.
