Innovation Wars: Driving Successful Corporate Innovation Programs Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Innovation Wars confronts the emotions of innovation and explains how innovation isn’t really about new ideas, but about the people who execute them.

The modern economy brings a multitude of challenges for organizations. Digital culture has taken over as a prime driver of consumer behavior, startups are continuously disrupting traditional industries, and organizations are going out of business as a rising number have announced intentions to launch innovation labs or partner with nimbler organizations. The economy has evolved into a battlefield, full of attempts, failures, and successes.

Innovation Wars provides new business designs, new tools, and new frameworks for today’s leaders to steer their organization towards success. Technology guru Scott Bales looks at the models of successful organizations, mapping out a strategic roadmap to success with a fresh take on the nature of innovation. He guides business leaders through a journey of self-reflection on their way to experimentation and value proposition discovery. Readers are given practical tools they can apply in their current organization to reduce the guess work in strategy and market success. They learn to do things the likes of Uber, Airbnb, and Amazon have done time and time again: harness the power of their voice to find new ways to solve old problems and unlock market frustration.

Scott is one of those thought leaders that gets Digital Transformation and how it can be made relate-able to those that aren't necessarily digitally native. The book is packed with clearly explained and written examples that lay out how its the people in DT that actually the key ingredient and not the processes themselves. Scott helps the reader understand the journey digital transformation has taken so that we can see where it might take us.

It's easy to tell the difference between an author who has actually delivered projects and someone who "only" writes for a living (not meant as disrespect). You can tell Scott has actually delivered projects. His suggested tools and techniques are spot on. How do I know? Because I'm a practitioner of digital transformation for Fortune 500's and we employ much of the same concepts Scott outlines. Must read for anyone involved in DT!
