What fuels long-term business success? Not operational excellence, technology breakthroughs, or new business models, but management innovation—new ways of mobilizing talent, allocating resources, and formulating strategies. Through history, management innovation has enabled companies to cross new performance thresholds and build enduring advantages.In The Future of Management , Gary Hamel argues that organizations need management innovation now more than ever. Why? The management paradigm of the last century—centered on control and efficiency—no longer suffices in a world where adaptability and creativity drive business success. To thrive in the future, companies must reinvent management.Hamel explains how to turn your company into a serial management innovator, revealing:The make-or-break challenges that will determine competitive success in an age of relentless, head-snapping change.The toxic effects of traditional management beliefs.The unconventional management practices generating breakthrough results in “modern management pioneers.”The radical principles that will need to become part of every company’s “management DNA.”The steps your company can take now to build your “management advantage.”Practical and profound, The Future of Management features examples from Google, W.L. Gore, Whole Foods, IBM, Samsung, Best Buy, and other blue-ribbon management innovators.

Thousands of companies have pledged to act responsibly; very few have proven that they know how. The Responsibility Revolution will guide them.

Brick by Brick takes you inside the LEGO you've never seen. It follows the teams behind some of the world's most beloved toys, showcasing the company's disciplined approach to creativity and detailing a remarkable business transformation. The narrative reveals how LEGO struggled to adapt to changes in children's lives, leading to a decline in relevance. When company leaders applied popular innovation strategies, they inadvertently brought LEGO to the brink of bankruptcy. This near-collapse illustrates that theoretical solutions can fail in a competitive global market. A new management team, confronted with the rise of electronic toys and demanding consumers, reinvented the innovation playbook, turning LEGO into one of the fastest-growing, most profitable companies worldwide. Throughout the journey, Brick by Brick highlights how LEGO became customer-driven by collaborating with kids and adult fans, leveraged a comprehensive approach to innovation, and utilized both crowd wisdom and elite expertise. The company discovered untapped "blue ocean" markets while thriving in competitive environments and fostered a culture where profitable innovation could thrive. Packed with practical lessons, Brick by Brick offers insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and fans alike on building an innovation advantage, brick by brick.
