Right now, all around you, there's an explosion of new business models, new product/service categories, and new organizational forms. There's a veritable Cambrian Explosion of business life underway, led by outlier organizations you haven't even noticed yet. Today, many of them are barely visible to the incumbents in their markets... but some are about to explode into dominance. What do they share? A fundamental commitment to Strategic Novelty (SN). In Strategic Innovation, leading innovation strategists Michael Gibbert and Liisa Valikangas show you how to leverage Strategic Novelty, get to the future first, and get them before they get you. Gibbert and Valikangas introduce SN through a set of thematically-clustered case studies of leading outlier organizations: businesses different enough to warrant their own break-out categories. These case studies cover novel areas ranging from 3D printing to crowd financing and resource-constrained innovation. Each case is original, previously unpublished, and based at least in part on the authors' direct experiences. These dynamic case studies add a real-life process dimension that many other strategy books lack. Readers can explore how these companies' stories continue to play out in both massive success and abysmal failure. The authors demonstrate why incumbents often don't notice outliers until too late, and show how to recognize new opportunities to become the winning disruptor. They show how to extrapolate the likely impact of any novelty, helping you tell the difference between promising novelties and those destined to fail. Interactive and deeply involving, Strategic Innovation provides detailed teaching notes for further exploration, as well as thought-provoking outside commentary from experts throughout business and academia.
