Fare i conti con la vita

Bu, ilerlemeyle ilgili bir kitap. Evet, inovasyonla ve inovasyonda ustalaşmakla ilgili. Ama özünde, hayatımızda ilerleme kaydetmek için girişmek zorunda olduğumuz mücadelelerle ilgili bir kitap. Siz de diğer birçok girişimci ve yönetici gibiyseniz, inovasyon çabası içindeyken “ilerleme” sözcüğü hemen aklınıza gelmeyebilir. Onun yerine müşterileri cezbedecek doğru özellik-fayda bileşimine sahip mükemmel ürünü yaratma takıntısına kendinizi kaptırabilirsiniz. Ya da sürekli olarak mevcut ürünlerinizde onları daha kârlı veya rakiplerinizinkinden farklı hale getirecek değişiklikler yapmayı denersiniz. Müşterilerin ne istediğini bildiğinizi sanırsınız, oysa gerçek hiç de öyle olmayabilir. İnovasyon çok daha öngörülebilir ve çok daha kârlı olabilir, ama ancak siz farklı düşünürseniz. Mesele ürün değil, ilerlemedir. Dolayısıyla kendinizi ve organizasyonunuzu sürekli başarısız olan iyi niyetli inovasyon çabalarına yöneltmekten yorulduysanız; müşterilerin belli bir fiyat farkı ödeyerek satın almaya can atacağını önceden kestirebildiğiniz ürün ve hizmetler yaratmak istiyorsanız; başarılı inovasyon için talihe bel bağlayanlarla rekabet edip kazanmak istiyorsanız, bu kitap sizin için yazıldı. Dünyanın dört bir yanındaki organizasyonlar inovasyon uğraşına, üst düzey yöneticilerin zaman, enerji ve zihinsel çabalarını da içeren sayısız kaynak ayırıyor. Ve doğal olarak, etkinliğe ulaşma gayretlerini optimize ediyorlar. Ama eğer bunca çaba yanlış soruların yanıtlarını bulmaya yöneliyorsa, son derece çürük bir temel üzerine oturuyor demektir. Her süreç kusursuz bir şekilde elde ettiği sonuçlarla değerlendirilir. Eğer inovasyonu karmakarışık ve bilinmez bir şey olarak görürsek, bu kanaatimizi eyleme dönüştüren süreçler inşa ederiz. Zaten çoğu firma da böyle yapıyor: Vasatlık düzeyinden kurtulamayan gönülsüzce tasarlanmış inovasyon süreçleri. Onları tarif etmede ustalaştıran, ama isabetsiz öngörülere sahip veri zengini modeller yığmaya zaman ve para akıtıyorlar. Bunu kabullenmek zorunda değiliz. Clayton Christensen: Harvard Business School’da öğretim üyesidir. Yayınladığı dokuz kitabın yanında, Harvard Business Review’un en iyi makale ödülüne de sahiptir. İnovasyon danışmanlık şirketi Innosight’ın da dahil olduğu dört şirketin kurucu ortağıdır. 2011 ve 2013’te Thinkers50 tarafından dünyanın en etkili iş düşünürü seçilmiştir.

İnovasyonda Ustalaşmak

Een van s werelds meest invloedrijke managementgoeroes van dit moment, bestsellerauteur Clayton Christensen, geeft je in De succesfactor alle tools in handen om optimale voldoening te halen uit je carrière, je persoonlijke relaties en je leven. In 2010 sprak professor Clayton Christensen in een inmiddels beroemd geworden toespraak de afgestudeerden van dat jaar aan de Harvard Business School toe. Puttend uit zijn omvangrijke onderzoek bood hij hen een reeks van richtlijnen aan om een in alle facetten succesvol, gelukkig en betekenisvol leven te kunnen leiden. De toespraak ging viral via social media en gaf aanleiding tot een van de meest gelezen artikelen ooit in de gezaghebbende Harvard Business Review.
