The key to thriving in today's business world is a deeply embedded capability for continual, radical innovation. This entails harnessing your imagination and creativity to challenge the status quo and invent new ways of doing business. In other words, you must practice what Gary Hamel calls “strategic innovation”—the capacity to re-conceive product and service concepts, redraw market boundaries and radically alter deep-down economics. Drawing on the examples of activists who profoundly changed their companies with their bare hearts, Hamel will outline the practical steps for managers to lead and innovate.
Participants in this program will learn:
- How managers can assume the role of a change agent and innovator
- The elements and conditions that produce strategic innovation
- How to understand the components of the new, nonlinear, competitive industry revolution
