Radical Change
Radical changes mean that your start a whole business almost from scratch. There is very little if any connection to past. Fully independent ventures, start ups and innovation activity are of this type. The closer your business change is of this independency, the more it is recommended that you set up the development as an innovation/start up process as they give you maximum freedom.
Moderate Business Change
In moderate business change there is connection to business past and typically there are other significant limitations (eg. concerning time). In moderate business change you move to another known business model or otherwise innovatively disrupt your current business model. In these changes it is recommended to apply Lean Business Change as a classic innovation/start up process is then typically not as lean as it should be for these cases.
Incremental Business Change
In incremental business change only some elements (typically customer or products/services) of a business are changed whereas on a model level business remains the same. Incremental changes are needed but problems occur if that is the only approach that a company or organization has in business change area. The probability for a business change failure is high, if moderate and radical changes are pushed to process meant for incremental changes.
