Workshop Title: Lock Ins and White Space

If your organization has unsuccessfully implemented a new innovation, Lock-In was most likely the culprit. Most innovations fail because Lock-in to existing practices blocks you from doing important new activities, not poor management. Obvious signs in the market allow an organization to recognize innovation is necessary, but because existing processes are so ingrained, the business becomes paralyzed – unable to make the necessary changes to survive.

Workshop Activities

  • Pre-workshop survey
  • Lock-in Analysis – Behavioral, Structural and Financial
  • Lock-In Grid
  • Innovation comparison to Lock-In
  • Yes Game
  • Select one Lock-in and create Lock-In Correction Matrix

Take Aways

Participants will have an understanding of what Lock-in is, as well as how it impacts decisions and behaviors in the organization. Focusing on one lock-in we identify what innovation is blocked, and how disruptions can un-lock it.
