🌟 Every other Sunday, we share a book that inspires innovation and human-centered design. Discover insights to spark creativity, solve real problems, and drive meaningful impact in your work! Enjoy! 📖 The Innovator’s Dilemma 💡 Why This Book? Christensen explains why most companies miss out on new waves of innovation. No matter the industry, he says, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know how and when to abandon traditional business practices. Offering both successes and failures from leading companies as a guide, The Innovator’s Dilemma gives you a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation. Sharp, cogent, and provocative—and consistently noted as one of the most valuable business ideas of all time—, The Innovator’s Dilemma is the book no manager, leader, or entrepreneur should be without. 🚀 Takeaway for Innovators: Stay ahead of disruption by anticipating change and innovating proactively.
