When discussing the Ambidexterity Problem, the literature suggests
several solutions; serial acquisitions where buying-in new offerings to
feed a stable delivery engine refreshes the organization (e.g.,
pharmaceutical industry). Setting up NewCos where the optimizing
business is kept culturally separate from the OldCo (this is the so-
called spin-out solution). Creating internal 'skunk works' or
developing a culture of independent time for inquiry (the 3M
solution).
