Toward a Base of the Pyramid Protocol™

Stuart Hart Erik Simanis Cornell University

The Paradox of Globalization Development & Progress Economic Growth Production Expansion

Cultural Imperialism Economic Inequality Ecological Degradation

The MNC: Traditional Customer Base

“Tip” of the Income Pyramid

“Base” of the Resource Pyramid

> $10,000/yr

Cost structures, business models, & research methods based on a “Western infrastructure”

The “ToP” Customer

85% of Global Resources

The BoP: Serving a Different Customer

Less than $1,500 per year “Base” of the Income Pyramid

The “BoP” Customer

“Tip” of the Resource Pyramid

15% of resources

Will require cost structures, business models, & research methods based on a different infrastructure.

The BoP presents… NOT a marketing problem The “Sachet Mindset” • Food & Nutrition and FMCPs

NOT a technology problem The “Killer Ap Mindset” • Water Purification, Distributed Energy and ICTs

but a Business Model challenge

You can’t solve a problem using the same mindset that created it. How do you “imagine,” pilot, and scale business models for a BoP infrastructure if your past & current business is ToP?

Co-Creating the Business Engaging the BoP differently… Customers

Partners

Clients

Colleagues

To serve the BoP, MNCs will need to develop a new capability…

Native Capability The ability to… • Engage with marginalized groups and communities in mutual business partnership • Build long-term relationships of trust and understanding with BoP communities • Creatively marry MNC capabilities and technologies with those of BoP communities through a process of co-creation • Evolve the business model from the ground up

Conclusion • Very difficult to “outsource” the BoP Protocol process – Development of radical new business models and the generation of “competitive imagination” requires corporate employees and representatives to be on the core immersion team – BoP Protocol represents a new corporate capability

Question • How would you put together a “BoP Protocol Immersion Team” in your organization? – What specific backgrounds and personal characteristics should individuals have? – What skills and capabilities would be most important? – How would you go about preparing the team for the challenge?
