Revenues and Profits of Tech Giants – Classic Disruptive Innovation

Dwayne Harapnuik — March 21, 2013 — Leave a comment

As we can see from the infographic from Staff.com, Apple’s introduction of the iPhone 3GS in 2008 corresponds to the explosive growth of their revenue, profit and market capitalization. In late 2010 and early 2011 we also see a drop in Microsoft’s profit which corrisponds with the release of the iPad and what many are referring to as the beginning of the Post PC era (review several post on this topic). With the lack of success in the release of Windows 8 and poor sales of Microsoft’s Surface tablet we may see and even greater decline in the future for Microsoft.

Unfortunately, the infographic does not include the most disrupted company Research in Motion (RIM), which is now called Blackberry. Back in 2007 Blackberry dominated the smartphone market and just six years later many are wondering if the company will survive despite the release of their long awaited new OS and phones. Another perspective that the infographic doesn’t reveal is the way that Android is now beginning to disrupt Apple. It will be exciting to watch how the whole mobile industry which didn’t even exist six years ago will evolve over the next few years.

iPad’s First Year Statistics – Classic Disruptive Innovation

Dwayne Harapnuik — January 27, 2011 — 1 Comment

WOW! I have had two different iPads over the past year so I guess I am part of these statistics. The interesting part is that this is just the beginning. It will be interesting to see how much of the 90% market share will be lost to the competitors. Looking forward to next years stats.

iPhone TV: Top iPhone Apps for Live Streaming Television via kwout

When you start to see major networks and the Television industry in general adopt a device like the iPhone for the delivery of their content then you know that this device must have hit the mainstream. While some of these apps will not work that well over 3G and the battery life of the iPhone will be zapped quickly by streaming video there is no denying that the iPhone is a mainstream device. Some would argue that with over 80 thousand apps and counting being developed in the past year for the iPhone, it is not just mainstream it has become a new standard. Nine to twelve months ago this question was still worthy of discussion but I argue that it is time to move on.

A second reason I suggest that this device is now a mainstream device is that IT shops and CIOs in particular are starting to recognize its impact. Jason Hiner the Editor in Chief of TechRepublic points out that while a majority of CIOs still reject the iPhone the resistance to the device is weakening.

While it is refreshing to see that IT is slowly catching up with what is happening in the “real world” we need to take a lesson from this story. If you are looking to IT and in particular to your CIO for technological innovation and vision then you may be looking in the wrong place. Yes there are a few CIOs who possess the courage and passion to be visionary but for the most part IT is responsible for making sure that technology is safe and reliable. If the lights are flashing, the fans whirring and the bells ringing then we know the IT and the CIO are doing a good job. Unfortunately, safety and reliability have very little to do with progress and innovation. As much as I wish it wasn’t, innovation – disruptive not the sustaining kind, is messy and occasionally unreliable.

The key here is who does your organization look to for technological innovation. If its is IT and the CIO and you have an IT group that is very traditional then you and your organization may be safe but you are not going anywhere. Innovation requires vision and courage to go places and do things that most are not willing to do.

Perhaps IT and the CIO should not be visionary leaders==perhaps their role is to provide the reliability of a utility. With virtualization, and cloud computing maturing to the point where computing is moving into the realm of a utility it may make more sense to accept the fact that the role of IT is to provide security and reliability and not ask them to be innovative.

If you want innovation and effective change then you have to look to who your innovators are and support them rather than asking groups and people not comfortable with innovation to be something that they are not.
