Frank Kumli’s Post

Fortune 500 companies average corporate lifespan (corporate life expectancy age) declines from 75 years, the past century to 15 years now. Organisations are challenged to rethink their current management and leadership practices, reimagine new ways of leading innovation and reinvent their systems to foster a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship. #innovationculture #leadership #ambidexterousleaders #dualinnovation #employeeengagement #creativity #intrapreneurship

Excellent Input! Kudos to Frank Kumli : „Your random acts of Innovation aren‘t working!“ „Innovation isn't just about novelty; it's about creating value beyond the core business. To succeed, we must consistently add value to our offerings, distinguishing ourselves in the market.“ #business #innovation #innovationmanagement #growth

Firstly, we benefited from some in the past. Creating the platform for others to benefit is part of our ethos. More importantly, if we are going to digitalise the #maritime sector, we need to do it securely. That increasingly means ensuring the supply chain does not create weak links. If we’re going to do our job properly at CyberOwl, we need to be on top of the digitalisation trends in the sector. What are the problem spaces innovators are trying to solve with software and connectivity? How are they going about it? What #cyberrisks do these create? Plus, it’s also quite fun. Oh btw, if you’re looking for a great maritime #cybersecurity company to work with… ahem!

Disruptive innovation also know as creative disruption can be understood through the symbolism of an egg. A chick pecking its way out of an egg is a classic image of disruptive creation. The chick, a new player, disrupts the status quo within the egg to create new life. . . . . This mirrors how disruptive innovations, often simpler and more accessible, can break into established markets, challenging the dominance of existing products. However, an egg broken from the outside represents destruction. This parallels how clinging to outdated methods of production in the face of disruption can lead to a company’s demise. Disruption forces businesses to re-evaluate the fundamental economic questions: what to produce, who to produce for, and for whom to produce. They must adapt their offerings, identify new target audiences, and potentially even reinvent their production methods to survive and thrive in the face of any change.

I didn’t think I’d ever be invited to speak about corporate innovation at an event hosted inside a brewery, but then again, yesterday I did just that for the students and alumni at Copenhagen Business School. As a graduate of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship master's program, I joined to share my career journey and how I built up my career working in startups, scale-ups, and now in a CVC of a global logistics company. My goal was to share how innovation processes develop in large organizations and how you can use all of your career experiences to solve problems and create an impact. 📌 Have a solution-focused mindset. Your job is to take the weight off and come up with perspectives and ideas to solve problems. 📌 Ask questions to get as much clarity as possible. This will help you find the right approach and potentially the right solution faster and create more impact. 📌 Be mindful of everyone’s time and don’t create unnecessary situations that move you away from your goal. This applies to both the start-up and your business stakeholders. Your goal is to be the person people rely on to move their roadmap further; always focus on the goal. 📌 Foster a collaborative culture. Innovation thrives in environments where diverse ideas and perspectives are encouraged and valued. Collaborate across departments and with external partners. 📌 Keep the customer at the center of your innovation efforts. Understand their needs and pain points, and develop solutions that provide real value to them. 💡 Bonus: Ask yourself often: Is this (piece of information) adding to the conversation or pushing our focus away from what we’re trying to achieve? Prioritization will take you far in life. ⚡ What else would you add? P.S. Thanks to a great team for organizing, Philip Hulgaard and Anders Buchmann for their cool insights, and all of the alumni and students who shared their feedback. It was a pleasure to spend a Thursday afternoon with you all! Maersk Growth #cvc #innovation #network #community #career #impact

It was great to attended #ForbesStartup event from Forbes and FORBES España with Recovo to join the talk "Innovation and sustainability: What new solutions are startups adopting with a sustainable approach"? We shared a pannel with Belen Rallo Del Olmo , (MANGO) Alba Rocafort Marco fabbric and Cecilia Dall'Acqua de Deloitte about how the startup landscape is related to sustainable development and how are they innovating to change current business models. How technology is key to achieve this complex hot topic called circularity. We also discussed the importance of supporting startups and the brave teams bringing the innovation with significant recurrent contracts to scale business models, the understanding that to embrace change, old habits need to be broken and the complexity of the journey to it. And last and the most important, the power of collaboration within players in the chain to move forward faster. We are pleased to share our experience and learn from other professionals to keep growing. Thanks to Forbes for thinking of us to be part of this amazing experience.
