Options Thinking for Leading Innovation

Innovation is the lifeblood of successful businesses. From high tech to low tech, from multinational to start-up, innovation has become every firm’s imperative as the pace of change accelerates. The challenges of this imperative increasingly require leaders to manage uncertainty and pursue learning and innovation across the boundaries of firms. A new mindset is required to understand the dynamics of managing innovation in this context and to encourage managers to harness the potential of the uncertainty, rather than shrink from its risk.
