How Disruption Drives Companies to Transform or Die by Lisa Hendrickson & Jim Colwick
Winning in An Age of Relentless Change and Disruption
Today we face a bewildering array of changes coming from many directions—globalization, government policy, market disorganization, technology, business trends, demographics, social distortion, and environmental uncertainty. These mega forces are disrupting how organizations do business and often determine if they succeed or fail.
Boom! Deciphering Innovation is a 30,000-foot guide for leaders who need to make sense of the disruptive landscape, the nature of innovation, and the role of leadership in reinventing the future. The lessons are useful whether you are a leader in a big or small company, nonprofit, or government organization.
The book is designed to be a quick, fun read. The authors use lively, conversational language, pictures, and short case studies to tell the story of what happened, winners and losers, innovation, and transformation. They also provide advice on the first steps in making a company future-ready.
Praise for Boom! Deciphering Innovation
Best book on how to progress in a disruptor economy.
Boom! turns strategic management upside down. In a disruptor economy, this book is the best book to come along since The One-Minute Manager. Easy to read, accessible, and makes the complex clear. For every industry and every manager, this is a must-have book.

One of Inc. magazine’s top 10 innovation books of the first half of 2018. Boom! outlines the disruptive landscape, nature of innovation, and how leaders can drive innovation and transformation. It provides strategies for making companies “future-ready.”

The best companies have always found a way to innovate, survive, and change to meet the future. In the 21st Century, where change is coming so quickly that people and institutions are barely able to adapt, it’s important for leaders to understand the sources and impact of disruptive change on their organizations. Boom! is a good first step in learning about today’s business landscape and the key questions leaders must answer to prepare themselves and their organizations to excel in this digital world. It is a quick, interesting, and provocative read. I recommend it.
