Many firms struggle to exploit the innovation potential of their global networks. To get the most from dispersed innovation, managers need a different playbook. Here are three ways to set up and manage global innovation for success: 1. Assign oversight and support responsibility to a senior manager. This hands-off approach works because on-site executives can rely on informal communication and feedback mechanisms to maintain oversight. MORE
CEOs of large companies face a conundrum: they are confronted with a growing number of frugal consumers clamoring for affordable solutions, yet their existing corporate culture and incentive systems are designed to support a "bigger is better" business model — not to deliver more with less. As the Age of Austerity dawns, however, corporate leaders will have no choice: they will have to bite the bullet and infuse their organizations with a frugal mindset. MORE
This situation exists because, believe it or not, a lot of organizations lack any mechanisms to help them actively manage the evaluation, selection, monitoring, and adjustment of digital investments to achieve clearly defined business results while meeting clear risk and return expectations. In essence, digital investments should be planned and managed according to their current and future contribution to business performance. MORE
Conversely, why market cigarettes? We think there's more to business success — and that something as straightforward as a simple equation could put capitalism on a better path. To an extent not widely recognized, it was an equation in the first place that gave ROE the power to dominate not just investment decisions, but an entire business culture. Just as electronic commerce would later sweep business, mass production came to one industry after another. MORE
From time to time, every leader has to deliver news that is hard for employees to hear. Even when businesses are doing well, organizational and structural change is to be expected , and acquisitions, reorganizations, or policy changes can affect people’s jobs in ways that create feelings of fear, anger, or sorrow.

To be truly competitive in the digital economy, you must be built to change. Companies across the globe are faced with new competitive threats, changing market dynamics, new technology disruption and evolving customer needs, and the pressure is on for companies to be able to sense and respond to those changes and deliver better products and services to customers, faster. Is faster delivery into the market having an impact on your bottom line? MORE
We were in a meeting to review the roadmap for the company's new product. I wanted to accept the consensus as a sign that the company had rounded the corner on its 3-year slog to be more relevant in their market. To lead is to advocate for an idea. MORE
What appears less common is their understanding of the destructive consequences of allowing that to happen. They reflexively grasp for the culture lever, assuming the act of crafting and publishing a set of values actually has the power to do something. People want their company’s values to be sacrosanct. The painful result of widespread misuse of company values, according to one major study , is that only 23% of U.S. MORE
The main effect of higher productivity is to make labor more valuable; therefore it stands to reason that employers would — in the classic logic of "if you liked it that price, you'll love it at this one" — snap up more of it. it's a fallacy to suggest that there's a trade-off between unemployment and productivity." Yet, as obviously logical as that finding turns out to be, McKinsey was right to frame it as counterintuitive. MORE
In 2001, a new approach to technology development was created by a daring group of developers. Agile development laid the intellectual groundwork for the Lean movement in entrepreneurship, which further pushed business leaders to organize their business model and product development work around a series of experiments, testing critical hypothesis along the way. And, once again, business leaders would do well to pay close attention to the strategic implications. MORE

Makes teams better” is fast-becoming both an essential ingredient to getting hired and a mission-critical skill-set worth measuring. What combinatorial characteristics of high-performers empower everyone else to over-perform?

A lean startup approach, we are told, can empower big companies to innovate rapidly and effectively in the face of continual disruption, potentially even transforming enterprises into centers of continual new growth. Responding to this promise, many companies have started putting these ideas to use: A recent study of 170 organizations with $1 billion or more in revenue found that over 82% are currently using a lean startup approach in some aspect of their business.

Since at least the early ’90s, we’ve been hearing that Mass Customization is going to change the consumer landscape, but by and large, we still buy manufactured goods the way we have since the middle of last century. Physical product customizers such as Nike iD and Moto Maker have earned strong customer followings, but they’re still closer to “designed for me” than the “designed by me” experience we’ve been promised. The tools to do this are already here. MORE

In 2008, Dr Reddy's acquired Chirotech, Dow Chemical's R&D unit, for $32 million, and in April 2011 relocated it to a new 33,000 sq. Dr Reddy's plan is to leverage Chirotech's scientific capabilities to optimize drug development processes, thus lowering manufacturing costs and speeding time-to-market. In recent years, Indian firms such as Dr Reddy's have also started globalizing their R&D footprint by moving into Western markets. MORE
M&A is central to many companies’ growth strategies. It’s been easier to go from big to bigger through M&A than new to big through entrepreneurship. That failure is not due to a lack of trying. Companies dedicate vast amounts of time, money, and effort to organic growth. Once launched, the opportunity is micro-managed to ensure that everything goes according to plan. The second step is to test like an entrepreneur. MORE
The widespread deployment of low-cost sensors and their connection to the internet has generated a great deal of excitement (and hype) about the future of manufacturing. But to get beyond the hype, managers need to understand some underlying challenges and paradigm shifts. MORE
This seems to be a key question on the minds of not just marketers, but company strategists these days. Yet wanting to be closer with customers, and knowing what actual, operational pathways to take in order to achieve this are two very different things. MORE

A lot of business literature advocates teaming up wherever possible to open the doors to new ideas, draw on the unique strengths of others, and speed time to market. Look for example at Lytro , a company whose impact on photography might turn out to be on par with the digital camera. Advanced algorithms process these inputs to enable features such as 3D effects or focusing on different parts of the image after the photo has already been taken. MORE
Gimmy’s task was clear but highly demanding: to reimagine the way BMW innovates. At the time, BMW had no dedicated, company-spanning unit to leverage the creative power of startups. To fill the void and build such a new BMW startup unit, Gimmy partnered with an experienced innovation manager from BMW, Matthias Meyer. From 2012 to 2015, the number of global corporate venture capital deals almost doubled, and their investments quadrupled, to $29.1 MORE

One of the challenges of being a CEO is that you rarely are asked to choose between a wrong or right answer. Strategy, after all, is about tradeoffs — choosing where to focus. When confronted with disruptive technologies, many companies fail to align digital strategies with their core strategies. “If you went to bed last night as an industrial company,” Immelt observed, “you are going to wake up this morning as a software and data analytics company.” MORE

Imagine a team at a ski company that's faced with a big problem: When skiers make sharp turns at high speeds, the edges of their skis lift from the snow, causing the skiers to sometimes lose control.
