Author of The Wide Lens: A New Strategy for Innovation (2012) Many companies fail because they focus too intensely on their own innovations, and then neglect the innovation ecosystems on which their success depends. In our increasingly interdependent world, winning requires more than just delivering on your own promises. It means ensuring that a host of partners some visible, some hidden deliver on their promises, too. Ron Adner, Faculty Director 5
Tuck Faculty: Thought Leadership Exemplary Teaching Prof. Chris Trimble specializes in innovation execution and creating experimental businesses within established corporations. He is co-author of the best-selling: The Other Side of Innovation Solving the Execution Challenge (2010) is all about how to deliver on the promise of innovation. Companies can t survive without innovating. But most put far more emphasis on generating big ideas than on executing them turning ideas into actual breakthrough products, services, and process improvements. But without execution, big ideas go nowhere. The Other Side of Innovation is based on ten years of research into the best practices for executing an innovation initiative of any size or shape. It offers in-depth recommendations plus analysis of a wide variety of real-world examples of innovation inside of well-known companies. Reverse Innovation (2012). The subtitle of the book is: Create Far From Home, Win Everywhere. It is the culmination of several decades of research, exploring the closing gap between rich nations and emerging economies. As a result of the closing gap, the global dynamics of innovation are changing. No longer will innovations traverse the globe in only one direction, from developed nations to developing ones. They will also flow in reverse. The book shows leaders how to make innovation in emerging markets happen, and how such innovations can unlock opportunities throughout the world. 6
