Blue Ocean Strategy, the #1 global bestseller, forever changed how the world thinks about strategy. Now W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne offer up a bold, new idea that will transform how we all think about innovation.Disruption dominates innovation theory and practice. But disruption is destructive-displacing jobs, companies, and even entire industries. Are we missing better, and even bigger, opportunities to innovate and grow?With three decades of research, the number one global-bestselling authors of Blue Ocean Strategy W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne reveal another way to innovate and grow-nondisruptive creation. Just as Blue Ocean Strategy redefined the essence of strategy as creating not competing, Beyond Disruption redefines and expands the existing view of innovation by introducing a new approach-nondisruptive creation-that is free from the destructive displacement that happens when innovators set out to disrupt.Kim and Mauborgne reveal the distinct advantages of nondisruptive creation to business and society, showing how this bold, new approach to innovation allows companies to grow while also being a force for good. With examples that cut across all sectors of the economy and a practical framework for guiding innovation efforts, this book shows:Why nondisruptive creation matters to all of us and why it's about to become a lot more important in the futureHow to create innovation strategies that trigger nondisruptive creation instead of disruptionHow to identify and execute on nondisruptive opportunitiesHow companies can more thoughtfully pursue their growth and innovation strategies in a way that better balances business and societyA practical guide for driving innovation and growth, the rich research behind the book coupled with its frame-breaking message make it the must-read book for the next generation of innovators who want to do well and do good.

Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you.The AI transformation is underway, but where are the leaders who will ensure their companies implement AI successfully and responsibly? Up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the AI transformation, pushing strategy formulation out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions to groups that don't have a full view of the organization or its goals. Just when responsible leadership is more crucial than ever, leaders are abdicating their role in understanding and executing in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies.This book helps leaders take control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. Clearly and concisely, it focuses on the nine actions leaders need to take in order to successfully preside over the transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all-companies and workers-and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters make. What may surprise you is that the nine actions De Cremer focuses on are based on skills that are second nature to successful leaders: creating a vision, communicating well, and executing a strategy. But here he shows you how to apply these skills in the context of AI. This is not a book about mastering machine learning or any of the latest developments in AI technology itself. Rather, it's a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organizations successfully into the new world.

The new M&A bible.Few actions can change the value of a company-and its competitive future-as quickly and dramatically as an acquisition. Yet most companies fail to create shareholder value from these deals, and in many cases they destroy it. It doesn't have to be this way.In The Synergy Solution, Deloitte's Mark Sirower and Jeff Weirens show acquirers how to develop and execute an M&A strategy-end to end-that not only avoids the pitfalls that so many companies fall into but also creates real, long-term shareholder value. This strategy includes how to:Become a prepared "always on" acquirerTest the investment thesis and DCF valuation of a dealPlan for a successful Announcement Day, and properly communicate synergy promises to investors and other stakeholdersRealize those promised synergies through integration planning and post-close executionManage change and build a new, combined organizationSirower and Weirens provide invaluable background to those considering M&A, laying out the issues they have to consider, how to analyze them, and how to plan and execute the deal effectively. They also show those who have already started the process of M&A how to maximize their chances of success.There's an art and a science to getting mergers and acquisitions right, and this powerful book provides the insights and strategies acquirers need to find success at every stage of an often complex and perilous process.

American democratic capitalism is in danger. How can we save it?For its first 200 years, the American economy exhibited truly impressive performance. The combination of democratically elected governments and a capitalist system worked, with ever-increasing levels of efficiency, spurred by division of labor, international trade, and scientific management of companies. By the nation's bicentenary in 1976, the American economy was the envy of the world.But since then, outcomes have changed dramatically. Growth in the economic prosperity of the average American family has slowed to a crawl, while the wealth of the richest Americans has grown to a level never seen before. This imbalance threatens the American democratic capitalist system, which only works when the average family benefits enough to keep voting for it.In this bracing yet constructive book, world-renowned business thinker Roger Martin starkly outlines the fundamental problem: we have treated the economy as a machine for which the pursuit of ever-greater efficiency is considered an inherently good thing. But it has become too much of a good thing. Our obsession with efficiency has inadvertently shifted the shape of our economic outcomes: from a large middle class and smaller numbers of rich and poor (think of a bell-shaped curve) to a greater share of benefits accruing to a thin tail of already rich Americans (a Pareto distribution).We must stop treating the economy as a perfectible machine, Martin argues, and shift toward viewing it as a complex adaptive system in which we must seek a fundamental balance of efficiency with resilience. To achieve this, we need to keep in mind the whole while working on the component parts; pursue improvement, not perfection; and relentlessly tweak instead of attempting to find permanent solutions.Filled with keen economic insight and advice for citizens, executives, policymakers, and educators, When More Is Not Better is the must-read guide for saving democratic capitalism.

"You build a team around top-notch talent. The team members work well together; they're committed to the mission and highly motivated to perform. Yet the results are disappointing. You're not seeing creativity and flexibility. You're not getting breakthrough ideas. 'Good' teams build camaraderie, confidence in their abilities, and a solid process for working together.

"In recent years, companies in a wide range of industries have adopted radically flexible work policies that allow employees and teams to work from anywhere (WFA), untethered to a physical office. The leaders at these companies understand that geographicflexibility is a competitive advantage: a way to attract and retain high-quality and diverse talent at a global scale. If other companies want to find and keep the very best talent, they must embrace WFA. In The World Is Your Office, Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj Choudhury takes readers inside the companies at the forefront of this growing phenomenon-from startups to bigger, more traditional organizations-while offering leaders a playbook for implementing a variety of WFA policies they cantailor to their own needs. This includes: Using WFA as a means of hiring and retaining the best talent in your field; best practices for meeting the challenges of managing a WFA team or workforce, including ways to build community, improve communication,and share knowledge; understanding how AI and automation are extending WFA to manufacturing and other deskless settings; and case studies of companies that have implemented WFA to great effect. Filled with smart insights and in-depth examples, and inspired by a decade's worth of pioneering research, The World is Your Office will help leaders attract superior talent, boost innovation, and improve productivity and diversity"-- A research-based deep dive into a growing phenomenon—companies allowing employees to work from anywhere—and how those who adopt this model can boost talent, innovation, and productivity.As the debate around remote versus in-office work rages on, leaders in a wide range of industries continue to implement radically flexible work practices, allowing most, if not all, of their employees to work from anywhere.

From startups and nonprofits to government agencies and large corporations, Choudhury's research shows why and how these organizations—and their employees—are benefiting.Drawing insights from this pioneering research, Choudhury also provides an extensive playbook for implementing successful WFA policies, offering leaders concrete strategies to:Use WFA as a means of hiring and retaining the best talentEffectively manage WFA teams, share knowledge, and combat isolationLeverage AI and automation to extend WFA into manufacturing and other deskless rolesDesign programs that attract talent to different regionsFilled with actionable insights and extensive case studies, The World Is Your Office empowers leaders to embrace the future of work.
