Download or read book Experimentation Works written by Stefan H. Thomke and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't fly blind. See how the power of experiments works for you. When it comes to improving customer experiences, trying out new business models, or developing new products, even the most experienced managers often get it wrong. They discover that intuition, experience, and big data alone don't work. What does? Running disciplined business experiments. And what if companies roll out new products or introduce new customer experiences without running these experiments? They fly blind. That's what Harvard Business School professor Stefan Thomke shows in this rigorously researched and eye-opening book. It guides you through best practices in business experimentation, illustrates how these practices work at leading companies, and answers some fundamental questions: What makes a good experiment? How do you test in online and brick-and-mortar businesses? In B2B and B2C? How do you build an experimentation culture? Also, best practice means running many experiments. Indeed, some hugely successful companies, such as Amazon, Booking.com, and Microsoft, run tens of thousands of controlled experiments annually, engaging millions of users. Thomke shows us how these and many other organizations prove that experimentation provides significant competitive advantage. How can managers create this capability at their own companies? Essential is developing an experimentation organization that prizes the science of testing and puts the discipline of experimentation at the center of its innovation process. While it once took companies years to develop the tools for such large-scale experiments, advances in technology have put these tools at the fingertips of almost any business professional. By combining the power of software and the rigor of controlled experiments, today's managers can make better decisions, create magical customer experiences, and generate big financial returns. Experimentation Works is your guidebook to a truly new way of thinking and innovating.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
Download or read book Your Guide To Reach Innovation written by Munther Al Dawood and published by Munther Al- Dawood. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does this book matter? I have spent months thinking about innovation and how to reach it, finding this task challenging to get references that are easy to understand and practice to make innovation. For many people, there is a lot of misconception about innovation and how to develop it, making this book a valuable resource to guide you to reach innovation and specifically answer the following questions: 1. What is the concept of innovation? Innovation is creative thinking and practical creativity to make novel ideas that bring significant value to customers and companies. Innovation comes in a variety of outcomes as new or improved products, invented or upgraded processes, enhancement of customer experience, marketing activities, or breakthrough technology. Besides, innovation is vital to both customers and businesses as it enhances the value propositions, improves product design and usability, reduces costs, and increases customer experience, yet it leads to business profitability and sustainability. 2. What is the framework of innovation? One of the book's merits is designing a comprehensive framework for innovation, explaining four key subjects of innovation: inputs, processes, outputs, and control. This framework enables readers to understand innovation flows and requirements. Innovation inputs include vision, strategy, leadership, resources, system, and disciplined culture. Innovation processes include inspiration, synthesis, ideating and experimenting, and implementation. Innovation outputs cover three spaces relevant to customers, businesses, and technology. Innovation control involves aligning, monitoring and controlling, quality checks, testing, and assessment. 3. What are the types of innovation? There are many types of innovation, although they all share the same concept of innovation attributed to novelty and value advantages. Innovation comes in different types like lifecycle categories, disruptive, incremental, product, process, business model, configuration, customer experience, and open and closed model of innovation. 4. How do you diffuse a business innovation? The diffusion of technological innovation explains how innovation rollouts in the market. In the technology lifecycle, an innovation product begins as a breakthrough technology developed by techies, then diffused to the market as technology products and applications by early adopters. Then, these technology products are transformed into innovation platforms by the early majority, followed by slowing down the growth rate of revenues and reaching maturity, encouraging late majorities to involve sustainable innovation to improve customer experience and operational excellence. Last, the cycle reaches a maturity where laggards involve in renewal activities of innovation. 5. How can you design a business model for innovation? A business model explains how a firm creates, delivers, and captures values. A business model typically identifies three elements: value creation, transaction, and resources. The book discusses various kinds of business models and proposes criteria for the assessment of business models. The book also draws a new business model for innovation that comprises eight business elements: (1) customer segment, (2) customer-value fit, (3) commercializing, (4) activities, (5) resources, (6) partnership, (7) profitability, and (8) measurement. 6. What are the best practices and models of innovation? The book illustrates (29) best practices and models of innovation like lean start-up thinking, blue ocean strategy, business model Canvas, good-to-great thinking, design thinking, job-to-do thinking, SPRINT, open innovation, and more.
