Due to bureaucracy policies and procedures, it sometimes becomes hard to come out with innovative ideas quickly at Rio Tinto. To streamline the bureaucracy, I recommend Rio Tinto to embrace open innovation through collaboration internally and externally. Rio Tinto should assemble a global task force across all the product groups committed to accelerating ideas from concepts to reality. Prioritization of good ideas needs analysis by potential impact, risk and time to market, and should quickly transition open ideation to define the project teams. The open collaboration should embed the four innovation pillars employees reward mechanism, idea generation, idea conversion and idea diffusion.

In looking at the financial data, we see that CanGo is working hard and has positioned themselves well in the music, book and movies retail industry. This is evident as from December of 2008 to December of 2009, CanGo has managed to increase sales by 500%, with an increase in total revenues in excess of forty million dollars. In order to continue this growth and be a powerhouse in this industry CanGo will have to find a way to compete with companies such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, eMusic and Wal-Mart. To do so, they need to look closer at the users that are the target audience. First, we need to realize that to grow, we need to shift consumers from buying from Amazon. Is because Amazon “dominates 65 percent of all new online book units, in both print and digital copies. They have the largest share of the e-book market as well, with 67 percent. As for print, Amazon controls 64 percent of sales of printed books online.” (Mosendz. 2014) This is telling as we know who we need to work against, but is also important to know that “Millennials, those consumers aged 18 to 34, remain the key age demographic for online commerce, spending more money online in a given year than any other age group.” (Smith, 2015)

Rio Tinto likes to think in portfolio terms where each product group flourishes at different points in economic cycle by analysing the mix and balancing of investment. Successful growth starts with an assessment of the contents of the pipeline. As Moore (2007), suggests that for companies fixated in usual business the three-horizon framework is the right strategy to develop the future capability. A survey is conducted across different product groups to analyse the health of the business and identify the gaps and bulges (Appendix B).
