Business is dynamic, and innovation is important, but it's not always necessary to reinvent the wheel to be successful. A game-changer is not always the one that started the game.
Innovation is simply creating something completely new to solve a problem while improving is about looking for problems within existing solutions and basically solving those problems found.
Innovation and Improvement go hand in hand; success often stems from knowing the time for innovation and the time for improvement and strategically implementing accordingly.
Enhancing existing solutions should not be underestimated. The most impactful advancements in technology are often built upon foundations laid by predecessors.
Modern-day innovations like electric vehicle technology build upon and are reliant on the foundational principles introduced by Karl Benz in the initial invention of the automobile which is also reliant on other foundational innovations.
Now, imagine enhancing a business with this strategy and a transformative force—cryptocurrency.
In a landscape where change is the only thing that’s constant, hesitating on cryptocurrency adoption could mean missing out on transformative opportunities. Integrating crypto isn't just about staying relevant; it's seizing the chance to redefine your business's future and survive in the evolving digital economy.
You can do this within your business and in competitors' business models to achieve a great amount of growth. And one of the best ways to do this is by adopting new progress in technology (cryptocurrency in this example).
1. Easier Marketing: Marketing becomes more straightforward as you can build on the familiarity of the existing solution and highlight specific improvements.
2. Immediate Revenue: You can charge more from day 1. Your enhanced solution to something can never be cheaper than the prior solution.
3. Customer Loyalty: Enhancements can strengthen relationships with existing customers, fostering loyalty and repeat business.
4. Reduced Risk: Addressing known issues in current solutions mitigates the risks associated with launching entirely new products.
5. Faster Time-to-Market: Utilizing existing foundations speeds up the development process, resulting in a quicker time-to-market for improvements.
6. Feedback Utilization: Existing solutions offer a wealth of feedback that will provide you with valuable insights for targeted improvements.
7. Resource Optimization: Leveraging existing tools, research, and knowledge will reduce the need for new investments.
8. Adaptability: Incremental enhancements make it easier for customers to adapt. Building completely new solutions comes with the challenge of trying to make users understand, believe, and trust your solution.
So, instead of brainstorming and validating and pivoting and all the other stress you'd normally go through. You're just taking two or more systems and combining them together to make a superior solution.
You'll still have to use your expertise, best practices, and common sense to make sure that the business works well.
