"Innovation, Strategy & Organizational Response: How Much Change Do Our Clients Need?"

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

5:30 - 9:30pm ET

New York, NY

Cocktails & dinner will be served

When working with clients to think strategically and innovate successfully consultants need to ask themselves: How much does my client really need to change and in the end have I facilitated the right kind of positive change or not? The difficulty of finding the balance between too much change and too little is even harder in the current uncertain economic environment.

In The Essential Advantage: How to Win with a Capabilities-Driven Strategy, Booz & Company's Cesare Mainardi and Paul Leinwand maintain that success in any market accrues to firms with coherence: a tight match between their strategic direction and the capabilities that make them unique. Achieving this clarity takes a sharpness of focus that only exceptional companies have mastered. The Essential Advantage is about an ideal situation in which the pieces reinforce each other instead of working at cross-purposes.

Taking this one step further, Chris Trimble from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and co-author with Vijay Govindrajan of a new book entitled The Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution Challenge, argues that innovation cannot be separated from the messy day-to-day running of a company. The authors discuss how unholy alliances can be built between the "operators" and the "thinkers" to drive innovation and success in the marketplace. The pieces have to work together.

Facilitated by Patricia O'Connell of Bloomberg Businessweek, our authors, C-Suite executives and Chief Strategy Officers will debate whether these time-tested approaches are still valid, practical and hold up in the face of everyday financial and operating pressures.
