Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators: From Idea to Execution

Practical innovation strategy for ambitious business builders

This is a sharp pick if you like business books that go beyond big ideas and actually show how innovation gets executed inside established companies. It stands out because it tackles the real tension between protecting today’s success and building tomorrow’s growth. You come away with something grounded, thoughtful, and especially useful if strategy, leadership, or corporate change interests you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Even world-class companies with powerful and proven business models eventually confront limits to growth. That is what makes emerging high-growth industries so attractive. With no proven formula for making a profit, these industries represent huge opportunities for the companies that move quickly and are smart enough to capture them first. But building tomorrow's businesses while simultaneously sustaining excellence in today's demands a delicate balance—one that is fraught with contradiction and paradox. Until now, there has been little practical guidance. Based on an in-depth, multi-year research study of innovative initiatives at ten large corporations, Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble identify three central principles: forget yesterday's successful processes and practices; borrow selected resources from the core business; and learn how the new venture can succeed. The authors make recommendations regarding staffing, leadership roles, reporting relationships, process design, planning, performance assessment, incentives, cultural norms, and more. Breakthrough growth opportunities can make or break companies and careers. "Forget, Borrow, Learn" is every leader's guide to execution in unexplored territory.
