A book I will read everyday ❤
You may not agree with everything Gary has to say but he will challenge you to want to go out and break something!
Convincing but frankly very hard to realize in "bigcorp" where incremental improvements crowed out revolutionary approaches. Yet precisely because of this a must-read.
This book was written a long time ago. Strategists and futurists rarely get credit for their thinking when they write - because no one has seen what these guys see...and the world has yet to see it come true. The edition I read had one of the best layouts I have come across - very creative - clean and inspiring. A great read made even better by the brilliant layout. Not sure how relevant the book is in today's context - unless there have been updated versions.
Some content is dated, but that shouldn't take away the core message. This is driving directions for those of us who work for large corporations and would like to carve out different perspectives and 'point of view' for future of the business. If you ever thought you had ideas that company should be pursuing and didn't do much other than complaining about how 'they' are idiots and that they don't havea games plan? Well, you have no excuse anymore...
This is another piece on innovation, this time focussing on innovating the business model, rather than innovation within a research environment. While the book was interesting, it did not connect with me as well as some of the other work on innovation, such as Dorothy Leonard's Wellsprings of Knowledge . The author is a well-established thinker in the field and presents a compelling case for "non-linear thinking" to bring about high growth. The book contains the obvious examples from the high te...
Gary Hamel was once considered one of the strategy gurus, but hasn’t actually come up with much new in the past twenty years. He seems to have made the choice to follow in the Tom Peters mould of becoming an entertaining speaker and merchant of wow! Rather than concentrating on supported academic research, which he is quick to belittle as for a minority readership with no links to action.Having said that there was much good stuff in this book, although his time really hasn’t changed much right u...
A must read for corporate people and management students.
''Leading the Revolution'', which deals with fostering innovation in business settings, was first published in 2000. Nevertheless, many of the ideas and suggestions that Hamel proposes are still fresh and relevant. Some of the case-studies, however, are a bit dated (the best example of this are the more than 10 pages to praise innovation at Enron). Hamel's basic premise is that innovation goes above and beyond mere product- or service innovation. He argues that true new wealth is created by radi...
Leading the Revolution was a book I found from my friends bookshelf, when we were visiting them. He hadn't read the book and I hadn't heard anything about it beforehand, so I got the luxury to read it without many expectations towards it. Gary Hamel as a person was familiar to me, but this book wasn't.Book is about innovation. How radical and continuous innovation is only way companies can stay on the top and profitable. Also it tells how people outside the top management can be the ones who dri...
Excellent book about business model innovation. Businesses need to do more than product innovation. Business model innovation is what will create long-term business success.
Good structure. Plentiful examples that confirm radical innovation being the most important strategy for well-established company to pursue in order to thrive.
Good book. More story than anything, but good. Good stuff towards the end on helping start a revolution (chapter 7).Inspiring, a bit. Promotes a Strategic perspective AND ethos - not too common to see both in a book or author.
This book was all the rage until Enron imploded.
