The DNA of Disruptive Leaders and Organizations
Intuitive Surgical, which Dyer, Gregersen, and Christensen (2011) recognize as a highly innovative company, finds itself in a difficult competitive situation. While it produces many of the best robotic surgical devices and controls much of the market, its patents will soon expire, and new competitors are challenging its leadership. How should leaders at Intuitive Surgical apply the five discovery skills of disruptive innovators and the DNA of disruptive organizations (people, processes, and philosophies) to retain their leadership and/or establish leadership in new market segments? While Intuitive Surgical has demonstrated a high innovation premium in the past, can it leverage the DNA of innovation leaders and organizations to remain competitive? For this discussion, select two of the five skills to address.
