leaders and managers who aspire to drive corporate innovation. The
world we are in today is experiencing an acceleration of
technological advancement. More companies are facing disruptions.
Companies must innovate to survive.80% of the leaders know the
importance of innovating but most do not know where to start. What
they don't know is they already have the crucial asset of
innovation in their organization - their employees. The question
is, how to activate the employees to innovate. This book provides a
simple and actionable framework that leaders can apply to drive
corporate entrepreneurship. It's a playbook with tools and tested
methodologies including Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Agile, etc.
-a must read for anyone working on innovation in medium- to
large-size companies. The framework and tools, when implemented,
will help the company constantly come up with innovation and
capture growth.
This book examines the economic logic of the significant variation
in growth over long periods. What's necessary for the U.S. and
other developed nations to realize stronger growth and more equal
incomes? What's necessary for families to feel vacations, college
educations, and retirements are possible? Will artificial
intelligence (AI) automate or augment workers' jobs? Will the
2020-2021 global pandemic be sufficiently disruptive to deliver
fundamental transformation? Economic success in the decades ahead
will depend on the willingness of households, businesses, and
governments to innovate and change ways of living and working. To
explore these questions, the 4th Industrial Revolution is a unique
frame to assess global economic transformation, providing a
point-in-time reference for placing current events in the context
of sustained, multi-decade periods of faster and slower growth.
Political, social, and economic metamorphoses have accompanied each
revolution. This book examines the economic logic of the
significant variation in growth over long periods. Climate change
and the global warming consequences of fossil-fuel technologies
will need to bring about a new energy technology and, if
successful, result in renewable energy sources, reducing energy
expense. The success of the 4th Industrial Revolution is not
assured. While the future is uncertain, history suggests success
requires that barriers are addressed, workers and businesses engage
in the necessary change, and a positive policy response provides
the needed leadership. The book proposes a Growth and Fairness
Agenda and a New Social Contract through which stronger economic
growth and more equally distributed incomes can be possible.
Recognize traditional policy actions may be insufficient to achieve
stronger long-term growth. Promote improved confidence and a
positive outlook among small and medium enterprises. Encourage
advances in AI technology while addressing risks and fairness
issues. Support deeper worker engagement between business leaders
and workers. Seek a new social contract among workers, businesses,
and governments.
