Innovate or die ..



Today everyone has to become more innovative to find solutions for the new (green) challenges of our modern world. However, a lot of entrepreneurs come up with innovative ideas but they fail immediately at the execution level.
Were those ideas truly innovative?
In his new book “Transformative Entrepreneurs”, Jeffrey A. Harris shows how to deal with the right elements and how to become a real transformative entrepreneur like Ingvar Kampräd, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs or Fred Smith. Harris distinguishes 8 key elements to build up a real transformative business, really interesting for the MTB award as well!
v It’s all about the people.
v Seek innovation that begets invention.
v Find enough venturesome capital.
v Create a formidable and durable business model.
v Grab the next-mover advantage.
v Failure is an option.
v Government matters.
v Innovate or die.

This book highlights how difficult it is , yet it illustrates that it can be done, and has been done many times!
