Vijay Govindarajan's Innovation Quarterly
"next practices in innovation and execution in a reset world"

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER

Every fifty years, the world gets permanently reset. We are witnessing such a reset as a result of the global financial meltdown. In the reset world, innovation is more-not less — important. In fact the only way companies can grow in the slow growth world is through innovation.

Companies face a number of strategic and organizational challenges:

• How do we identify the market discontinuities that would be the basis for business model innovation?

• How can we create new growth platforms that exploit new market realities?

• What are our core competencies and how can we leverage them to drive innovation?

• What new core competencies do we need to build?

• What assumptions do we need to abandon?

• What organizational DNA will allow us to anticipate and respond to changes on a continual basis?

• How do we take an innovation from concept to reality?

• How do we design the organization to executive breakthrough strategies?

• How do we bring about “game changers” in our industry?

OBJECTIVES

The overarching purpose of Vijay Govindarajan's Innovation Quarterly is to build and sustain a community of executives and academics who are deeply passionate about innovation and execution in a reset world. Specifically, we will seek to:

• Discuss the business impact of innovation, with an emphasis on execution 

• Examine the strategic alternatives available to executives in specific industries- i.e., how are business models going to change?

• Explore recommendations for "disciplined innovation"

• Define and understand the critical factors that contribute to improving the chances of success

• Encourage discussions of lessons learned based on interviews and conversations with CEOs and senior innovation leaders

• Explore and discuss VG's 3-box strategic framework for innovation and execution

In essence, we’re here to help you challenge traditional industry assumptions that are no longer valid. Will you join the conversation?

"Companies that are capable of strategic innovation delight investors with sustained growth and surprise competitors
by changing the rules of the game."
