Insights

In a disrupted, fast-moving world, organizations
are betting big on innovation
Organizations understand the criticality of innovation to meeting new customer
needs, driving new levels of operational performance, and building long-termvalue and growth
However, these ambitions run into a major obstacle: the difficulty of achieving
scale with innovations in processes, products, or services
Achieving scale is often cited as the number one barrier to realizing commercial
goals across sectors and technologies

Organizations are challenged with low rates of scaled
implementation across technologies and sectors

Three action points for how organizations cansuccessfully scale innovation
Based on in-depth interviews with 40 senior executives from global organizations
with combined revenues of over $1.7 trillion, as well as academics, and drawing
on innovation best practices, we offer three recommendations for successfully
scaling innovation.

Build a culture thatis willing to taketough decisions onscaled innovations

Design innovation
governance toinclude scaling as akey responsibility

Treat scaling as itsown discipline
within theinnovation journeyTreat scaling as its own discipline within theinnovation journey1

Set up specialized roles
dedicated to scaling
within the business toease and accelerate wider
business adoption

2

Cross-train teams
across scaling andgenerating
functions3

Place innovation
generators into
the scaling
function to build
awareness of futurechallenges

4

Make viability andfeasibility
analyses integral
aspects of theinnovation journey

Design innovation governance to include
scaling as a key responsibility

1

2

Give more ownership to businesslines for scaling innovation

3

Consider implementing acorporate-venture builder model

Learn from accelerated scaling
approaches driven by the COVID-19
pandemic

Build a culture that is willing to take toughdecisions on scaled innovations

1
Promote a “learning” culture
while scaling

2

Kill or scale back successful
innovation when necessary

3

Introduce ﬂexibility when
scaling innovation to respond tochanging market conditions

Organizations are already securing their criticalinfrastructure and information using quantum
BT and Toshiba have collaborated to deploy a quantum-secure network, based on the QKD
system. The system was deployed to generate thousands of quantum-secure cryptographic
keys per minute over 6 km of ﬁber-optic cable, with a range extending up to 120 km.1

Netherlands-based KPN ran test traﬃc between Delft and the Hague using QKD from a central
node in Rijswijk. Current range between the nodes is 150 km, but KPN is aiming to upgrade thesystem to reach 250 km.²

organizations are waiting for standards to emerge before prioritizing quantum-safe security, yet
58% ofsolutions
are already available
