Innovating is for doers: you don't need to wait for an earth-shattering idea, but can build one with a hunch and scale it up to impact.
Innovation is the subject of countless books and courses, but there's very little out there about how you actually innovate. Innovation and entrepreneurship are not one and the same, although aspiring innovators often think of them that way. They are told to get an idea and a team and to build a show-and-tell for potential investors. In Innovating, Luis Perez-Breva describes another approach -- a doer's approach developed over a decade at MIT and internationally in workshops, classes, and companies. He shows that to start innovating it doesn't require an earth-shattering idea; all it takes is a hunch. Anyone can do it. By prototyping a problem and learning by being wrong, innovating can be scaled up to make an impact. As Perez-Breva demonstrates, "no thing is new" at the outset of what we only later celebrate as innovation.
In Innovating, the process -- illustrated by unique and dynamic artwork -- is shown to be empirical, experimental, nonlinear, and incremental. You give your hunch the structure of a problem. Anything can be a part. Your innovating accrues other people's knowledge and skills. Perez-Breva describes how to create a kit for innovating, and outlines questions that will help you think in new ways. Finally, he shows how to systematize what you've learned: to advocate, communicate, scale up, manage innovating continuously, and document -- "you need a notebook to converse with yourself," he advises. Everyone interested in innovating also needs to read this book.

Описание:
Innovation and Scaling for Impact forces us to reassess how social sector organizations create value. Drawing on a decade of research, Christian Seelos and Johanna Mair transcend widely held misconceptions, getting to the core of what a sound impact strategy entails in the nonprofit world. They reveal an overlooked nexus between investments that might not pan out (innovation) and expansion based on existing strengths (scaling). In the process, it becomes clear that managing this tension is a difficult balancing act that fundamentally defines an organization and its impact.
The authors examine innovation pathologies that can derail organizations by thwarting their efforts to juggle these imperatives. Then, through four rich case studies, they detail innovation archetypes that effectively sidestep these pathologies and blend innovation with scaling. Readers will come away with conceptual models to drive progress in the social sector and tools for defining the future of their organizations.

Craig Saphin is a successful, experienced, and articulate business leader. In Scaling New Heights he provides his structured business strategy framework to a wider audience.

In a business that has stagnated or is not growing as quickly as you would like?

Strategic Marketing
Operational Excellence
Extract from the Introduction by Rod Hore
As an external advisor, Craig has observed organisations that lose momentum and plateau.
Loss of momentum often occurs when the size of the organisation grows beyond what can be controlled and managed by the founders' personal influence and enthusiasm. For many service organisations, this stagnation can be when an 6 organisation grows to the point where structural changes are needed in terms of leadership, internal recruitment, sales, and commercial capability. Business performance can also be reduced by changes in the market, major client movement, leadership or shareholder changes, or even new competition.
These are the business owners that will benefit most from this book. Those who are starting out in business will also benefit from the clarity and structure provided here.
Craig articulates his strategy for building sustainable and growing organisations. The Five Pillars approach in Scaling New Heights is an inspiring read from cover to cover. However, it is cleverly written in bite-sized topics that can be easily digested by a busy company owner when a particular issue requires attention. Complimented by interviews and action lists, this is a book that sits on the owner's desk and never gathers dust.
Business owners know that it is hard to attract, develop and hold the essential talent, especially emerging leaders. If the business is not engaged, successful and moving towards a common goal, then talent will move. Without an engaged team, success is not possible. If your business stagnates, Scaling New Heights will help you regain focus to reap the rewards you deserve.
