Ambidextrous Knowledge: Manager Insights Platform
Summary
My company, Ambidextrous Knowledge, is developing a manager insights platform to help knowledge-based companies in science and technology parks achieve optimal organizational ambidexterity with data-driven narrative analysis and strategic guidance.
Problem statement
Managers of knowledge-based companies in science and technology parks struggle with understanding and implementing organizational ambidexterity which causes ineffective balance between exploiting existing capabilities and exploring new opportunities for innovation and growth.
Solution
A digital platform that captures and analyzes managers' experiences in knowledge-based companies within science and technology parks, providing structured insights into how these organizations balance exploration of new opportunities with exploitation of existing capabilities. The platform uses narrative analysis to identify patterns and best practices in ambidextrous management, delivering actionable recommendations for optimizing both innovation and operational efficiency.
Growth metric
The key metric to focus on is monthly active platform users (managers accessing insights and analytics). To scale this metric to affect 1 million people, the company should develop a freemium SaaS model that provides basic ambidexterity assessment tools to managers globally and partner with business schools and management consulting firms to integrate the platform into their curricula and client engagements.
