Innovation
Learn about the delusions surrounding disruptive innovation and discover ways to help leaders avoid self-sabotage in the Sloan Management Review.

Jobs To Be Done
The long-held maxim—that understanding the customer is the crux of innovation—is wrong. Customers don't buy products or services; they "hire" them to do a job. The "jobs to be done" approach can be seen in some of the world's most respected companies and fast-growing startups. In this book, Innosight cofounder Clay Christensen, Senior Partner David Duncan and others show how the jobs framework can help companies improve their innovation track record.
No business survives over the long term without reinventing itself. But knowing when to undertake strategic transformation—when to change a company’s core products or business model because of impending industry disruption—may be the hardest decision a leader faces.
