The Illusion of Innovation
Escape 'Efficiency' and Unleash Radical Progress
Book • 2024
The Illusion of Innovation explores why big companies struggle with meaningful innovation despite being well-managed.
It argues that focusing on efficiency rather than resiliency leads to an 'illusion of innovation,' which can result in value destruction.
The book suggests that corporations should harness the power of small teams and startups to drive innovation through systematic experimentation, using examples like the Amazon river basin and the NBA's three-point rule to illustrate the importance of thoughtful experiments.
