Overview

Drive change in your organization for a competitive advantage

From CEOs to marketing departments, company leaders are searching for ways to leap-frog their businesses to the leading edge, imprint their brand on the public consciousness, and become more relevant to the ever-changing global marketplace—to transform their businesses into 21st-century competitive game-changers. Out Think explains how to stand out, to express creativity, and lead companies into the creative age. To lead and contribute tangible services, products, and social value, companies need to build new capabilities, new risk thresholds, and social ecosystems that foster emerging behaviors that lead to competitive advantage.

Out Think: How to Lead a Culture of Results-Driven Innovation is both an idea-based and action-based work. Each chapter focuses on a key idea, behavior, or mindset and illustrates these concepts through proprietary interviews with business leaders.

  • Describes techniques to show how the shift or idea can be implemented, with real-world examples

  • Includes assessments, exercises and actionable messaging throughout the book

  • Based on the author's unparalleled access over more than a decade to executives and thought-leaders through his work at Skillsoft, a pioneer in the field of learning

Through interviews and collaboration with thought-leaders across industries, Out Think gathers insights, stories, and actionable take-aways, with an emphasis on results, that can drive the change that leaders want and need in their organizations.
