From the author of The Little Black Book of Innovation, a new guide
for using the power of habit to build a culture of innovation
Leaders have experimented with open innovation programs, corporate
accelerators, venture capital arms, skunkworks, and innovation
contests. They've trekked to Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Tel Aviv
to learn from today's hottest, most successful tech companies. Yet
most would admit they've failed to create truly innovative
cultures. There's a better way. And it all starts with the power of
habit. In Eat, Sleep, Innovate, innovation expert Scott Anthony and
his impressive team of coauthors use groundbreaking research in
behavioral science to provide a first-of-its-kind playbook for
empowering individuals and teams to be their most curious and
creative—every single day. Throughout the book, the
authors reveal a collection of BEANs—behavior enablers,
artifacts, and nudges—they've collected from workplaces
across the globe that will unleash the natural innovator inside
everyone. In addition to case studies of "normal organizations
doing extraordinary things," they provide readers with the tools to
create their own hacks and habits, which they can then use to build
and sustain their own models of a culture of innovation. Fun,
lively, and utterly unique, Eat, Sleep, Innovate is the book you
need to make innovation a natural and habitual act within your team
or organization.
More than a decade ago, Clayton Christensen's breakthrough book The
Innovator's Dilemma illustrated how disruptive innovations drive
industry transformation and market creation. Christensen's research
demonstrated how growth-seeking incumbents must develop the
capability to deflect disruptive attacks and seize disruptive
opportunities. In The Innovator's Guide to Growth, Scott Anthony,
Mark Johnson, Joseph Sinfield, and Elizabeth Altman take the
subject to the next level: implementation. The authors explain how
to create this crucial capability for unlocking disruption's
transformational power. With a foreword by Christensen, this book
provides a set of market-proven tools and approaches to innovation
that have been honed through fieldwork with innovative companies
like Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Intel,
Motorola, SAP, and Cisco Systems. The book shows you how to: Follow
a market-proven process -- so your company can reliably create
blockbuster businesses Create structures, systems, and metrics --
so the disruptive innovations that will power your firm's future
growth receive the funding and personnel needed to succeed Create a
common language of disruptive innovation -- so managers can reach
consensus around counterintuitive courses of action Incisive and
practical, this book helps your company take the steps necessary to
benefit from disruption -- instead of being eclipsed by it.
In Dual Transformation, innovation and growth consultant Scott
Anthony and his coauthors, Clark Gilbert and Mark Johnson, propose
a practical and sustainable approach to one of the greatest
challenges facing leaders today: transforming your business in the
face of imminent disruption. Dual Transformation illustrates the
inevitable rise and fall of companies in the age of technological
change. But, more importantly, it shows you how your company can
come out of a market shift stronger and more profitable. Anthony,
Gilbert, and Johnson build upon the lessons of Xerox, Apple, Barnes
& Noble, and a case study from Gilbert's first-hand experience
transforming his own media and publishing company, to describe the
process of successfully weathering the digital age by adapting a
current business model to the new marketplace. The book offers
critical insight to responding to disruptive shock with three value
propositions: (A) repositioning today's business to maximize
resilience, (B) creating a new growth engine, and (C) taking
advantage of assets to result in creative new markets. With great
change comes great opportunity, and this book will get you there
with tools to reshape your business model.
Innovation may be the hottest discipline around today--in business
circles and beyond. And for good reason. Innovation transforms
companies and markets. It's the key to solving vexing social
problems. And it makes or breaks professional careers. For all the
enthusiasm the topic inspires, however, the practice of innovation
remains stubbornly impenetrable. No longer. In The Little Black
Book of Innovation, long-time innovation expert Scott D. Anthony
draws on stories from his research and field work with companies
like Procter & Gamble to demystify innovation. In his trademark
conversational and lively style, Anthony presents a simple
definition of innovation, breaks down the essential differences
between types of innovation, and illuminates innovation's vital
role in organizational success and personal growth. This unique
hybrid of professional memoir and business guidebook also provides
a powerful 28-day program for mastering innovation's key steps: *
Finding insight * Generating ideas * Building businesses *
Strengthening innovation prowess in your workforce and organization
With its wealth of illustrative case studies and vignettes from a
range of companies around the globe, this engaging and potent
playbook is a must-read for anyone seeking to turn themselves or
their companies into true innovation powerhouses.
You have a great idea, now what?
That first mile--where an innovation moves from an idea on paper to
the market--is often plagued by failure. In fact, less than one
percent of ideas launched by big companies end up having real
impact. The ideas aren't the problem. It's the process.
"The First Mile" focuses on the critical moment when an innovator
moves from planning to reality. It is a perilous place where hidden
traps snare entrepreneurs and roadblocks slow innovators inside
large companies.
In this practical and enlightening manual, strategic adviser Scott
Anthony equips innovators with new tools, questions, and examples
to speed through this crucial early stage of innovation. You'll
learn:
- How to evaluate your idea's strengths and weaknesses using the
"DEFT" process--Document, Evaluate, Focus, and Test
- Fourteen recipes from an "experiment cookbook" to gain confidence
in your idea or business
- Why "spinouts," "wrong turns," and other challenges commonly trip
up innovation--and the practical strategies you can use to avoid
them
- Why innovators need to seek chaos in an age of constant
change--and other essential leadership skills
Drawing on his decade of experience as an innovation adviser and
investor, Anthony describes hard-won lessons from disruptive
start-ups and global giants alike. "The First Mile" will give you
the knowledge and confidence to travel this perilous--but
ultimately promising--terrain.
The first mile can be a scary place, but you don't have to traverse
it alone. This book can help.

Experts agree: The turbulence triggered by the economic shock of
2008 constitutes the "new normal." Unfortunately, too many managers
have become paralyzed by it, capable only of slashing costs
indiscriminately. Though examining spending during recessions makes
sense, the smartest executives do much more. As Scott Anthony
reveals in The Silver Lining, these leaders continue innovating--by
stopping ineffective initiatives, changing key business processes,
and starting more productive behaviors. Result? Their companies
emerge from downturns stronger than ever. Providing a wealth of
ideas, tools, and examples from diverse industries, Anthony
explains how to safeguard your company's profitability during even
the toughest recessions. You'll discover how to: -Prune your
innovation and business portfolio to liberate resources for more
promising initiatives - Adopt a radical new market-segmentation
scheme that helps you re-feature your offerings to reduce costs
while delivering new value to customers - Reinvent your innovation
process to drive fresh growth - Mitigate innovation risks by
conducting strategic experiments and forging alliances with
customers and other external entities - Appeal to increasingly
value-conscious customers to fend off low-cost attackers In today's
brutal economic climate, executives must pare costs to the bone
while planting and nurturing seeds for tomorrow's growth. The
Silver Lining explains how to master this seemingly impossible
challenge.
Every day, individuals take action based on how they believe
innovation will change industries. Yet these beliefs are largely
based on guesswork and incomplete data and lead to costly errors in
judgment. Now, internationally renowned innovation expert Clayton
M. Christensen and his research partners Scott D. Anthony and Erik
A. Roth present a groundbreaking framework for predicting outcomes
in the evolution of any industry. Based on proven theories outlined
in Christensen's landmark books The Innovator's Dilemma and The
Innovator's Solution, Seeing What's Next offers a practical,
three-part model that helps decision-makers spot the signals of
industry change, determine the outcome of competitive battles, and
assess whether a firm's actions will ensure or threaten future
success. Through in-depth case studies of industries from aviation
to health care, the authors illustrate the predictive power of
innovation theory in action.
