Bruce Vojak and Walter Herbst on their book ‘No-Excuses Innovation’

In this episode of Off The Shelf John Metselaar talks with Bruce Vojak and Walter Herbst to review their recently published “No-Excuses Innovation: Strategies For Small- and Medium-Sized Mature Enterprises”. The book’s premise starts with a quote by Andy Grove: “Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive”. This should be the wakeup call for business and innovation leaders from medium-sized mature enterprises, but frankly pretty much everyone. And it provides the basis for Bruce and Walter to offer a tangible, actionable recipe - covering process, people, and strategy perspectives - that, together, sets you up to generate the new value your innovation should deliver.

Ron Adner on his recent, acclaimed book 'Winning the Right Game'

In this episode of Off The Shelf John Metselaar invites Ron Adner to discuss his recent, acclaimed book “Winning the Right Game: How to Disrupt, Defend, and Deliver in a Changing World”. The conversation uncovers insights on how to thrive in today’s reality of ecosystem innovation. In this environment, “Winning” takes on a very different meaning. It’s about taking an expansive view of your industry breaking through historical boundaries and then creating integrated solutions and value propositions for your customers, in partnership with others. You win by building ecosystems (and not ego-systems) through alignment, relationships, collaboration, and trust.
