The I3 Model: How Industry is Transforming in the Disruption Economy

More than ever, success in industrial development depends on understanding INDUSTRY— how it is transformed by dynamic forces in the world, and how it transforms the world, with all its moving parts & entrepreneurial prosperity. Here's how we see it.

The i3 model of industry is accelerating manufacturing and distribution. Industry of the future is INNOVATIVE, INDIVIDUALIZED, and IMMEDIATE, reflecting an experience economy where speed-to-market is the golden ticket to creating value.

INDIVIDUALIZED

INNOVATIVE

IMMEDIATE

SEEING THE FUTURE At KSS, we love thinking about what’s next—new trends, hot markets, the future not just of design, but of the world. And here’s the thing— we’re pretty perceptive. In 2012, we said:

The future will demand customized products delivered instantly.

And that future is here—today tailored retail subscriptions and drone delivery in 30 minutes are key parts of the fulfillment lexicon.

So what are we saying now? To stay at the top of their game, industry leaders need to focus on

THE i3 MODEL to transform & accelerate manufacturing and distribution.

INNOVATIVE.

We used to create products and then try to figure out ways to market them. Innovation is the modern response to that entrepreneurial spirit—exploration that recognizes needs and constructively exceeds them.

The value in bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. lies in an integrated approach to the full supply chain—when the production process is a key source for innovation, it’s critical to colocate design and manufacturing.

The Center integrates fulfillment into distribution, revving up speed to market.

This is THE new model of distribution for innovation.

KEY FEATURES

The new building features an integrated distribution approach & an integrated work approach.

INDIVIDUALIZED.

Experiences are memorable, personal, sensational.

Today’s economy favors businesses that provide fulfilling experiences, expanded beyond the backdrop of commodities, goods & services. The experience economy realizes the power of engagement—people moving across & beyond communities.

As the industrial market becomes more experiential, B2B & B2C companies alike are recognizing the

value of having the customer engaged at the beginning & end of the supply chain. This launches individualized products & services that capitalize on the proximity of people, design & fulfillment.

The building transformation is less about making successful products and more about designing opportunities for tailored, client-driven solutions.

IMMEDIATE.

We are experiencing the now revolution—people don’t desire fast service, they desire instant service.

As digital natives become leading consumers and mobile becomes a leading platform, service needs to be one swipe away.

What does this mean for industry? Processes

need to be lean mechanisms with a seamless fit between R&D, design & production. Branding

becomes integral to the experience instead of a stick-on afterthought. And manufacturing moves back into the hearts of towns—where skilled people are accessible & orders can be fulfilled just in time.

EMERGING STRATEGIES IN INDUSTRY The i3 model didn't appear out of thin air. And it can't be implemented without effort—crafting real vision and success arises from an integrated approach to decisionmaking.

Industry leaders are applying human innovation, additive methods, and authentic disruption to become leaders in i3 strategies.

Example: Hiring people to do good work in areas with new or novel skill sets.

Example: Designers, engineers & assembly-line workers collaborating to own metrics & meet goals.

Example: Invest in research to determine new trends brought on

by Generation Z.

HUMAN INNOVATION Taking advantage of human capital is the basis of human innovation—building capacity, collaborating, and understanding the value of skills and experience.

AUTHENTIC DISRUPTION

ADDITIVE METHODS

Authentic disruption isn't just technology—it's any process, method, or idea that has the capacity to improve performance while advancing at a rapid rate.

Taking advatage of additive methods like 3-D printing harnesses global trends like craft & creative enterprises, direct product interaction with the customer thorughout the supply chain, and sustainable practices.

WHAT'S NEXT? The i3 model is what's happening NOW in industry.

But we're always interested in what's next. And we have a hunch that as we move more toward tailored, experience-based products and services, industrial development will become increasingly consumer-centered— manufacturing, distribution, retailing, and product fulfillment integrated into a seamless, compact bundle.

At KSS, we share our ideas because we believe this is a collective pursuit—our industries are part of a greater whole that can create shared value for the world.

Together, we can design that world.
