Bigger Picture
Roberto Verganti’s work of design-driven innovation strategy is an example of how to pursue radical innovation – and thereby sustain a long-term competitive advantage. [1] Verganti approaches innovation differently than the usual innovation strategies. These strategies often see innovation from a technological perspective, where the innovation is understood technological – and perhaps also market-wise (see for example innovation classifications for traditional classifications of innovation, which Verganti describes as 1-dimensional). For Verganti radical innovation is not only a question about disrupting technology or market capabilities. Instead radical innovation is about innovating meaning – and how to propose innovations to customers that they did know they needed. For Verganti it is necessary for companies to innovate more than the utilitarian dimension of products.

In fact, consumers will embrace brands that are FLAWSOME*: brands that are still brilliant despite having flaws; even being flawed (and being open about it) can be awesome. Brands that show some empathy, generosity, humility, flexibility, maturity, humor, and (dare we say it) some character and humanity. Two key drivers are fueling the FLAWSOME trend: HUMAN BRANDS : Everything from disgust at business to the influence of online culture (with its honesty and immediacy), is driving consumers away from bland, boring brands in favor of brands with some personality.

What does Aarhus University and Arriva have in common? Well, more than a little actually. Both work in the field of helping people reach their destination – one literally and one metaphorically. That's why we’ve decided to let the two join forces in a new recruiting campaign for AU!
