The Three-Box Solution

Meer over het boek

Leaders recognize that innovation requires distinct activities, skills, methods, metrics, mindsets, and leadership styles. The challenge lies in managing both the current business and innovating simultaneously. How can leaders maintain performance in a thriving business while reinventing it? How can they anticipate necessary changes before a crisis necessitates drastic measures? The author introduces a straightforward method for balancing an organization’s energy, time, and resources across "the three boxes": - Box 1: The present—sustain the current business - Box 2: The past—let go of past successes - Box 3: The future—develop a new model This "three box" framework simplifies the innovation process by providing leaders with a clear vocabulary and tools to manage and measure various behaviors and activities throughout the organization. With compelling examples from companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, Hasbro, IBM, United Rentals, Dunnhumby, Nucor, and Tata, along with insights from leaders who have effectively implemented this framework, the book addresses the complex challenge of aligning an organization with the competing demands of innovation.
