Innovation in a Reinvented World: 10 Essential Elements to Succeed in the New World of Business

CHAPTER 12

Navigating Your Way

IMPLEMENTING THE 10 ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

Actor Forest Whitaker in the film Hurricane Season says to a group of young basketball players: “Practice, practice, practice—execution—it's what makes it part of your DNA.”

In our case, “it” isn't about basketball, but about reinvention and innovation and how the two are interconnected in the new world of business. Designing a new blueprint for thriving in a reinvented world requires an adaptable mind-set, a flexible execution plan, and the desire to upgrade your playbook with different rules.

In the remaining chapters of this book, we focus on the practical aspects of reinvention. In a reinvented world, there is no one size fits all—something that is evident after reading the individual profiles from previous chapters.

Purchasing this book gives you not only access to the profiles you've just read but also access to Web-based training that drills down into the what and the how of reinventing your organization, you as a leader, and you as a career professional. The training gives you the opportunity to see what needs to happen to reinvent for a new world of business.
