9780137025145: Disrupt: Think the Unthinkable to Spark Transformation in Your Business

Synopsis

In a business world of nonstop change, there's only one way to win the game: Transform it entirely. This requires a revolution in thinking--a steady stream of disruptive strategies and unexpected solutions. In Disrupt, Luke Williams shows exactly how to generate those strategies and deliver those solutions.
 
This book reflects Williams' immense experience creating breakthrough solutions at frog design, one of the world's leading innovation firms. Williams shows how to combine fluid creativity with analytical rigor in a simple, complete, five-stage process for successfully disrupting any market.
 
You'll learn why the most unexpected ideas draw the least competitors--and offer the greatest potential. Then, using many examples and a case study, you'll walk through every step of transforming disruptive ideas from conception to breakthrough business strategy.
 
Craft your disruptive hypothesis
Be wrong at the start, to be right at the end
 
Discover your best disruptive opportunities
Explore the most unexpected corners of your environment
 
Efficiently shape your disruptive solution
Avoid the resource-killer that is "novelty for novelty's sake"
 
Make your winning disruptive pitch
Under prepare the obvious, over prepare the unusual


REVIEWS
"Remember the old Apple tagline, urging us all to 'Think Different?' In this book, Luke Williams shows us how to do precisely that. Disrupt helps you look at business--and the world around you--through a fresh lens, one that turns assumptions and convention upside down. Best of all, this is a practical book for the real world--Williams reveals not just how to come up with disruptive ideas, but how to nurture them, test them, pitch them, and ultimately make them real and profitable."
- Warren Berger, author of Glimmer
