Book excerpt: There are three types of companies in the world: Companies that don't yet benefit from data and AI Companies that use data and AI for internal purposes only Companies that harness data and AI as an asset for competitive global growth Where does your business belong? In Growth Reinvented, business innovation expert Mika Ruokonen takes a deep dive into the rich new landscape of data and AI-enabled business models. Building on a framework of dozens of original case studies and company examples, Growth Reinvented teaches ambitious business leaders how to extract value from data and AI as a conduit for systemic change. Like the steam engine or electricity, data and AI are general-purpose technologies with the potential for powerful and disruptive growth. But current literature on the topic is limited to examining benefits contained within a company's existing products or services, with an emphasis on theory rather than pragmatic detail. Growth Reinvented raises the bar with a concrete and easy-to-use playbook of business model options that leaders can start applying to their data and AI operations. Backed by real-life examples, these models demonstrate options for generating fresh revenue and product/service pathways, including those that open the door to a radically new type of business or industry sector. In a climate of rapidly evolving technologies and fierce global competition, companies must continually interrogate their ability to stay relevant in target markets. Growth Reinvented shows how to do exactly that, with a series of impact-focused and progressive strategies. Get ahead of the competition, understand the challenges and start transforming your data and AI into new, profitable and futureproof business models today. How can Growth Reinvented add value to your business? Build general understanding and awareness Growth Reinvented offers a cohesive, easy-to-follow summary of existing information around data and AI-enabled business models. It brings technology and business thinking together to serve as a synthesis for you to review and apply in real life. Extra online resources are also available for those who want to expand their learning. Deliver financial results and create a competitive edge Growth Reinvented shows how to generate new information using data and AI-enabled business models. For instance, you can learn how to implement models in practice to drive scalable revenue channels and competitive advantage. Avoid common pitfalls and steer towards success: Using clear and detailed case studies, Growth Reinvented highlights the current opportunities and challenges that companies face around data, analytics, machine learning and AI commercialisation. Who is Growth Reinvented for? Business leaders: build a thorough understanding of the growth opportunities behind different kinds of data and AI-enabled business models. R&D professionals: understand the business potential of your data and AI inventions, to work in harmony with corporate decision-makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Top 10 Business Strategy Book of 2018 by Inc. magazine In his pioneering book Seizing the White Space, Mark W. Johnson argued that business model innovation is the most proven path to transformational growth. Since then, Uber, Airbnb, and other startups have disrupted whole industries; incumbents such as Blockbuster, Sears, Toys "R" Us, and BlackBerry have fallen by the wayside; and digital transformation has become one of the business world's hottest (and least understood) slogans. Nearly a decade later, the art and science of business model innovation is more relevant than ever. In this revised, updated, and newly titled edition, Johnson provides an eminently practical framework for understanding how a business model actually works. Identifying its four fundamental building blocks, he lays out a structured and repeatable process for reinventing an existing business model or creating a new one and then incubating and scaling it into a profitable and thriving enterprise. In a new chapter on digital transformation, he shows how serial transformers like Amazon leverage business model innovation so successfully. With rich new case studies of companies that have achieved new success and postmortems of those that haven't, Reinvent Your Business Model will show you how to: Determine if and when your organization needs a new business model Identify powerful new opportunities to serve your existing customers in existing markets Reach entirely new customers and create new markets through disruptive business models and products Seize opportunities for growth opened up by tectonic shifts in market demand, government policy, and technologies Make business model innovation a more predictable discipline inside your organization Business model innovation has the power to reshape whole industries--including retail, aviation, media, and technology--redistributing billions of dollars of value. This book gives you the tools to reshape your own company for enduring success. Reinvent Your Business Model is the strategic innovation playbook you need now and in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important contribution to the global debate about growth, equality, climate change, and the path to a viable human future.” —David Korten, international bestselling author of When Corporations Rule the World The biggest challenges facing human wellbeing today—widening income inequality, continuing global poverty, and environmental degradation—may be simple to solve in theory. But, because we are required to come up with solutions that are acceptable to a political majority in the rich world, they are much harder to solve in practice. Most of the commonly proposed “solutions” are simply not acceptable to most people. Many of these proposed solutions—like stopping the use of fossil fuels—require a sacrifice today in order to obtain an uncertain advantage in the far future. Therefore they are politically infeasible in the modern world, which is marked by relatively short term thinking. In Reinventing Prosperity, Graeme Maxton and Jorgen Randers provide a new approach altogether through thirteen recommendations which are both politically acceptable and which can be implemented in the current period of slow economic growth around the world. Reinventing Prosperity solves the forty-year-old growth/no-growth standoff, by providing a solution to income inequality, continuing global poverty and climate change, a solution that will provide for economic growth but with a declining ecological footprint. Reinventing Prosperity shows us how to live better on our finite planet—and in ways we can agree on. “An essential guide to those who want to change the world for the better—and for certain.” —Ha-Joon Chang, international bestselling author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism “[A] well-argued book . . . explaining complex issues in a style that is clear, logical, and succinct.” —Publishers Weekly

Further, it suggests alternative ways of thinking about and organizing social change.
Download or read book Leftism Reinvented written by Stephanie L. Mudge and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Left-leaning political parties play an important role as representatives of the poor and disempowered. They once did so by promising protections from the forces of capital and the market’s tendencies to produce inequality. But in the 1990s they gave up on protection, asking voters to adapt to a market-driven world. Meanwhile, new, extreme parties began to promise economic protections of their own—albeit in an angry, anti-immigrant tone. To better understand today’s strange new political world, Stephanie L. Mudge’s Leftism Reinvented analyzes the history of the Swedish and German Social Democrats, the British Labour Party, and the American Democratic Party. Breaking with an assumption that parties simply respond to forces beyond their control, Mudge argues that left parties’ changing promises expressed the worldviews of different kinds of experts. To understand how left parties speak, we have to understand the people who speak for them. Leftism Reinvented shows how Keynesian economists came to speak for left parties by the early 1960s. These economists saw their task in terms of discretionary, politically-sensitive economic management. But in the 1980s a new kind of economist, who viewed the advancement of markets as left parties’ main task, came to the fore. Meanwhile, as voters’ loyalties to left parties waned, professional strategists were called upon to “spin” party messages. Ultimately, left parties undermined themselves, leaving a representative vacuum in their wake. Leftism Reinvented raises new questions about the roles and responsibilities of left parties—and their experts—in politics today.
Download or read book Reinventing Project Management written by Aaron J. Shenhar and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2007-08-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projects are the engines that drive innovation from idea to commercialization. In fact, the number of projects in most organizations today is expanding while operations is shrinking. Yet, since many companies still focus on operational excellence and efficiency, most projects fail--largely because conventional project management concepts cannot adapt to a dynamic business environment. Moreover, top managers neglect their company's project activity, and line managers treat all their projects alike--as part of operations. Based on an unprecedented study of more than 600 projects in a variety of businesses and organizations around the globe, "Reinventing Project Management" provides a new and highly adaptive model for planning and managing projects to achieve superior business results.

Download or read book Smart Growth written by Edward D. Hess and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street believes that all public companies should grow smoothly and continuously, as evidenced by ever-increasing quarterly earnings, and that all companies either "grow or die." Introducing a research-based growth model called "Smart Growth," Edward D. Hess challenges this ethos and its dangerous mentality, which often deters real growth and pressures businesses to create, manufacture, and purchase noncore earnings just to appease Wall Street. Smart Growth accounts for the complexity of growth from the perspective of organization, process, change, leadership, cognition, risk management, employee engagement, and human dynamics. Authentic growth is much more than a strategy or a desired result. It is a process characterized by complex change, entrepreneurial action, experimental learning, and the management of risk. Hess draws on extensive public and private company research, incorporating case studies of Best Buy, Sysco, UPS, Costco, Starbucks, McDonalds, Coca Cola, Room & Board, Home Depot, Tiffany & Company, P&G, and Jet Blue. With conceptual innovations such as an Authentic Earnings and Growth System framework, a seven-step growth funnel pipeline, a Growth Decision Template, and a Growth Risks Audit, Hess provides a blueprint for an enduring business that strives to be better, rather than simply bigger.

Reinventing yourself is the act of looking inward, identifying what is no longer working, and deciding to transform into a better version of yourself. This book is about finding the courage to change and using resilience to grow through difficulties. The art of reinvention is something we can all learn. It’s not about erasing the past or pretending to be someone else; it’s about embracing your journey—with all its failures and victories—and transforming what needs to be changed.

It is not just the ability to endure adversity, but also to learn from it, grow, and ultimately thrive. In this book, you will find real stories of people who reinvented themselves in the midst of hardship, showing that no matter what life throws at you, it’s possible to grow. You will also find practical tools to apply these concepts to your own life and become more resilient. Prepare yourself for a journey of self-discovery. Together, we will explore what it means to reinvent yourself, why it is important, and how you can take the first steps in this direction. You will discover that the power of change lies within you and that with determination and support, transformation and growth are possible, no matter how difficult the path.

Download or read book The Road to Reinvention written by Josh Linkner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies, communities, and individuals fall for many reasons, but one of the most common—and easily avoidable—is the failure to reinvent. When people and organizations rest on prior successes rather than driving purposeful transformation, they discover too late that they have lost their market position altogether to competitors and external forces. The most successful companies, brands, and individuals make reinvention a regular part of their business strategies. Transformation demands an ongoing process of discovery and imagination, and The Road to Reinvention lays out a systematic approach for continually challenging and reinventing yourself and your business. Venture capitalist and serial entrepreneur Josh Linkner identifies six elements in any business that are ripe for reinvention and shares examples, methods, and step-by-step techniques for creating deliberate, productive disruption. Throughout The Road to Reinvention, Linkner also explores the history—the great rise, unprecedented fall, and now rebirth—of his beloved hometown, Detroit. First rising to greatness as the result of breathtaking innovation, Detroit had generations of booming growth before succumbing to apathy, atrophy, and finally bankruptcy. Now, the city is rising from the ashes and driving sustainable success through an intense focus on reinvention. Linkner brings an insider's view of this incredible story of grit, determination, and creativity, sharing his perspective on Detroit's successes and setbacks as a profound example of large-scale organizational and personal transformation. Change is inevitable. You need to decide: Will you drive that change, or be driven away by it? Will you disrupt or be disrupted? By choosing to deliberately reimagine your own status quo, you can secure a strong future for both your company and your career.
