Résumé

Today's organizations face an onslaught of new management ideas from the fast-growing "business advice industry." Managers must determine whether to adopt an idea aggressively and risk fad-surfing or to sit on the sidelines too long and risk stagnation. The authors of What's the Big Idea? argue that new business ideas can both improve organizational performance and bolster a company's image as an innovative leader.

The key is choosing the right ideas to implement--at the right time for a specific organization. Drawing from decades of consulting, academic and business experience, and their novel study of more than 100 "idea practitioners"--individuals who introduce and champion new ideas within organizations--the authors provide practical tools and frameworks for understanding where new ideas come from, evaluating which ideas are worth pursuing, customizing ideas to suit an organization's unique needs, and more.

Encouraging managers to embrace the power of ideas while avoiding the hype that often accompanies them, this book is a pragmatic guide to the art and practice of new management ideas.
