Shift Happens: How the world is changing and what you need to do about it
by John Hagel, John Seely Brown and Duleesha Kulasooriya

reveals in clear terms the great paradox confronting us: new technology allows us to do things better, faster, cheaper, smaller, lighter, more conveniently, yet the return on assets for US companies has steadily fallen to almost one quarter of 1965 levels.

  • Why are companies and individuals struggling despite stock market highs and record profits?
  • What deep forces are driving the changes buffeting the world today?
  • How can readers navigate the short-term challenges while taking steps to capture the long-term opportunities?

Scaling Edges: How to radically transform your organization

by John Hagel, John Seely Brown and Duleesha Kulasooriya

reveals a roadmap for navigating past the organizational antibodies and resource conflicts that doom so many transformation initiatives.

  • How can you break through organizational inertia to do something radically new?
  • How can you seize the opportunity without losing organizational momentum?

Institutional Innovation: How to help your organization learn faster and thrive

by John Hagel, John Seely Brown and Duleesha Kulasooriya

explains how leaders can rethink the way they bring together talent, knowledge, and capital to learn faster, problem-solve faster, and break free from “the way we’ve always done it.” This is a guidebook for embracing the opportunity of change.

  • How can leaders solve big problems faster?
  • What do successful change initiatives have in common?
  • How can our institutions tap into the wealth of skills and resources around them to reinvent themselves before they are disrupted?
