Why do most new businesses fail, yet a few entrepreneurs have a habit of winning over and over again? The shocking discovery of years of research and trial is that most startups fail by doing the "right things," but doing them out of order. In other words, human nature combined with our entrepreneurial drive puts us on autopilot to become part of the 70% to 90% of ventures that fail. From Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, the Nail It Then Scale It method is based on pattern recognition of the timeless principles and key practices used by successful entrepreneurs to repeatedly innovate.

A radical new method-adapting the latest techniques honed by successful start-ups-for managing innovation in established businesses. Call it "lean start-up," "design thinking," or "agile." No matter the name, it's clear that a new method is revolutionizing how to successfully create, refine, and bring ideas to market-without traditional business planning. But because these ideas and techniques run counter to conventional managerial thinking and practice, managers in established organizations have difficulty implementing them. No longer. Based on field work with thousands of managers and validated inside dozens of companies, innovation experts Nathan Furr and Jeff Dyer show when and how to apply a "lean start-up" approach to innovation in established businesses. The Innovator's Method takes managers through these new practices for managing innovation. With detailed cases from the authors' work implementing these ideas with companies such as Intuit, NEC, P&G, Virgin Airlines, Kia, Folio, Citi, Hallmark, and Verizon, The Innovator's Method picks up where Jeff Dyer's The Innovator's DNA leaves off, showing how to test, validate and commercialize ideas with the lean and agile techniques that successful entrepreneurs use.

We've all seen leaders who excel at winning resources and support for their ideas. It turns out that this quality is so valuable, and measurably more important for innovation than just being creative, that it has a name: "innovation capital." Contrary to popular belief, effective leaders of innovation--folks like Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk--are successful not only because of the quality of their ideas but because they have the reputation and networks to successfully commercialize creative ideas. Nikola Tesla was arguably a more brilliant inventor than Thomas Edison, but Edison was able to realize tremendous commercial success while Tesla died penniless. Innovation Capital reveals the critical ingredient that separates the people who can marshal the resources necessary to turn their ideas into reality from those who can't, and shows you how to acquire, amplify, and use it to succeed as an innovative leader. Authors Jeff Dyer, Nathan Furr, and Curtis Lefrandt have spent decades studying how people get great ideas (the subject of The Innovator's DNA) and how people test and develop those ideas (explored in The Innovator's Method). Now, they share what they have learned from a multipronged research program designed to understand how people compete for, and obtain, resources to launch innovative new ideas--even, in some cases, before they've earned a track record of innovation.--

"Whether you're starting or running a business, searching for new ideas, or trying to advance in your career, you're likely to grapple with the unknown and unpredictable-every day. Though these moments can be difficult and uncomfortable, they also offer opportunities for personal growth, innovation, and creativity. In The Upside of Uncertainty, INSEAD professor Nathan Furr and entrepreneur Susannah Harmon Furr provide a panoramic guide to transforming uncertainty into a force for good. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, along with pioneering research in psychology, innovation, and behavioral economics, Nathan and Susannah provide over thirty tools for adopting a more positive view of what's happening, developing a vision for what to do next, and opening ourselves up to more and more possibilities. Timely and tactical, The Upside of Uncertainty provides the tools and strategies you need to thrive through life's never-ending plot twists"--

Leaders know that their job is to lead transformation to keep pace with technology and an ever-changing business environment. They also know that they are bound to fail doing so. But not because they can't solve a technology or strategy problem. They will fail because of the intractable human problems--fear, habits and routines, politics, the inability to see what doesn't yet exist--associated with change. These challenges are as old as the hills, but what if there were finally a way to transcend them? This book reveals a radical new method for doing just that. Written by the manager who designed and implemented it, the neuroscientist who helped make it work, and the academic who explains why it works and how to do it, Leading Transformation introduces an innovative yet proven process for creating breakthrough change. Broken down into three steps-envisioning the possible, breaking down resistance, and prototyping the future-this process uses cutting edge tools such as science fiction, artifact trails and neuroprototypes to overcome people's inability to conjure up or react to what doesn't yet exist, override powerful habits and routines that prevent people from changing, and create compelling non-linear narratives about the organization's future and how to get there. Used successfully by organizations such as Lowe's, IKEA, Levi's, Microsoft, Google and NASA--with numerous other companies around the world learning how to apply it-the process revealed in this book gives leaders the means to effectively transcend the human barriers that hold organizations back.--
