Title overview

Maximum innovation happens at the edge of chaos

EDGE is a set of fast, iterative, adaptive, lightweight, and value-driven tools to achieve digital transformation, and EDGE: Value-Driven Digital Transformation is your guide to using this operating model for innovation.

EDGE embraces an adaptive mindset in the face of market uncertainty, a visible, value-centred portfolio approach that encourages continual value linkages from vision to detailed initiatives, incremental funding that shifts as strategies evolve, collaborative decision-making, and better risk mitigation. This guide shows leaders how to use the breakthrough EDGE approach to go beyond incremental improvement in a world of exponential opportunities.

  • Build an organisation that adapts fast enough to thrive
  • Clear away unnecessary governance processes, obsolete 'command and control' leadership approaches, and slow budgeting/planning cycles
  • Improve collaboration when major, fast-paced responses are necessary
  • Continually optimise investment allocation and monitoring based on your vision and goals
