Innovation leads to change, sometimes subtle and sometimes drastic, but always impactful to the organization, its leaders, its followers, and its partners. The business landscape is always facing new challenges and responding to innovative ideas. The internet age has now given rise to the age of artificial intelligence which is forcing all businesses to rethink their strategies and to redesign their business models. This trigger may be new, but the process of change has been constant for decades or even centuries. Inspiration and insight for dealing with these challenges can be found in dozens of different industries.
The essays in this book explore the current impacts of AI as well as the equally important historic emergence of coffee houses in Europe, the formation of the Royal Society of science, the disruption of the art world in the 1960's, the transformation of baseball recruiting in the 1980's, and dozens of other situations like these. Innovation and transformation happen everywhere all the time, offering a wealth of lessons and insights.
For over 300 years, the guiding motto of the Royal Society of scientists and mathematicians has been the Latin phrase "Nullius in Verba" or "Take nobody's word for it." This insistence on questioning established beliefs, testing new ideas, and seeking new knowledge has sparked of the Age of Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Information Age, and the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Leaders who are blazing new trails will find insightful, informative, and stimulating perspectives on innovation theory, practice, culture, and leadership. These essays have been the most popular column in one of the leading research management journals for ten years. They are now collected into a single volume.
Thinking About Innovation is a guidebook for inspiring leaders who are faced with new and unique challenges that require a change to their traditional perspective.

Will is once again compelled to shed the skin of a well-established, though ultimately false identity. The ancient echo of evil and Jurgen the crow head to Reno, Nevada, in hopes of finding the perpetrator of these grisly crimes, the killer the newspapers are calling The Mutilator. Plunging headlong into another dangerous escapade Will and his amiable crow hope to aid the echo that the killer has spawned, and if necessary, end it. However, it is in the Biggest Little City that Will, executioner of evil, unexpectedly meets a new cast of characters and faces the biggest challenges of his life. Is this new murderer too much for even Will to handle? Does he need help from Ms. Marsch, director of the Safe Streets Initiative, who is as confounding as she is striking? Do the secrets of Will's forgotten past make a mockery of everything that he believes in? Why does something feel amiss in Reno? From Roger A.

Описание: The height and stature of Sequoia sempervirens, or Coast Redwood, are such that the tree is often called the most dramatic expression of life that has ever existed on Earth. This book tells the remarkable story of the worlds tallest tree species growing in the spectacular Great Otway National Park in Victoria. Originally planted by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes on land cleared and abandoned by the early settlers, the iconic Coast Redwood, native of California and tall-tree champion of the world, is now thriving in the Otways alongside our famous native eucalypt, the towering Mountain Ash. Exploiting the abundant moisture and rich fertility of the Otway soil, the Redwoods have over the years withstood adversity in the form of fire, landslides, lightning and chainsaws -- all the while forming a backdrop to the ongoing political debate about the utilisation and conservation of our valuable forest resources. The book also examines some elements of the growth dynamics of Mountain Ash forest in the Otway uplands, and explains how a knowledge of fire and other disturbance can lead to a better understanding of the age, structure, condition and longevity of these forests. Although the majestic Otway Redwoods are still in their youthful growth phase, they may, one day, claim the title of tallest trees in the world. This book is a fascinating insight into how the Otway Redwoods came to be, their historic, cultural and biological significance, and their important place in Victorias history.
