MAKING DISRUPTIVE STRATEGY PREDICTABLE

• is the opportunity sustaining or disruptive

• have we defined an opportunity around a job to be done or are we targeting a category

• are we building a purpose brand

• are we competing against non-consumption / deploying new technology

• are we focussing where added-value is being de-commoditised

• have we created a model that integrates resources properly to provide a complete solution

• do we have the right degree of autonomy and linkage to our parentage

• do we have a discovery driven plan

• does your money patience have the right focus
