Systems Innovation

A practical handbook for accelerating innovation, both internally and externally, through engagement with innovation ecosystems.

Kaizen, skills, integration: three words that 20 years ago didn't mean anything, today they mean a lot. Our economy and society rotate around these concepts. Which role do they play in our life? Furthermore, we all know that the globalization is making our system changing so fast that we literally have to run! And who wins the marathon at the end? The business with the best players. The most motivated, the most skilled-matching team.

In The Politics Industry, Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis - and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework - to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does, and how the duopoly has led to the devastating outcomes we see today. Using this competition lens, Gehl and Porter identify the most powerful lever for change - a strategy comprised of a clear set of choices in two key areas: how our elections work and how we make our laws.

It is increasingly becoming an integral component of solutions that stand to impact everything from routine daily tasks to societal-level challenges, ultimately serving the public good. At the same time, there are also concerns that AI could have negative social and environmental consequences.
