10 Advantages of The Progress Economy
to be sharpened up – but an OK starter for ten… What we’re thinking Here are ten advantages of the progress economy… Ready to explore these in more detail… 0. address blind-spots of current value model 1. Adopting a progress-first perspective ⇒ fixing innovation, sales, and growth problems By prioritising progress over chasing hard to define value, we unlock powerful levers and tools that boost sales success and ignite (systematic) innovation. Traditional views of value – while historically effective – are increasingly constraining growth and derailing innovation. Value is difficult to define and even harder to pursue directly. It’s time to reimagine…
Progress operating model
The progress economy operates through four functional layers: strategic, operational, decision, and foundation. Progress, defined as a move to a more desirable state over time, involves seekers and helpers. Seekers attempt progress using their resources, while helpers provide propositions to assist. Innovation improves progress by reducing hurdles and co-creating value.
Context hierarchy
The progress economy is a hierarchical model of value creation reimagined through making progress. It comprises four key contexts: progress, progress attempts, progress propositions, and service exchange. By understanding progress as the core, resources as fundamental, propositions as solutions, and (mostly) indirect service exchange – helping others progress – as the model fairness, we unlock a dynamic framework for innovation and growth.
