About the Book

In The Innovative Executive: Leading Intelligently in the Age of Disruption Bella Rushi helps business leaders react to ever-changing environments with flexible thinking and adaptability to create work cultures that thrive on innovation, risk-taking, and creativity.

Every executive knows that smart innovation is essential for success. But how do you create new growth strategies and address old business models that are at risk due to competition, global epidemics, or other drastic changes in the marketplace? Today, many companies don’t know how to select the “right projects” to pursue new growth opportunities. They struggle to find the best market opportunities and can’t decide how to efficiently allocate resources for R&D. Meanwhile, new and old competitors alike are disrupting the marketplace in dismaying ways. How do you innovate and win in today’s fast-moving business climate?

In The Innovative Executive, internationally renowned Bella Rushi argues that innovation should not only be a priority for survival but also for creating new sustainable growth. Companies need to flex their innovation muscles to reframe their business models, develop new capabilities, and leverage technology. Without the right methodology and framework, however, it’s difficult to succeed. The Innovative Executive will show you how to build an innovation agenda. Furthermore, it will help you align your innovation goals with business strategies and invest in ideas that will open future opportunities.

Rushi examines how innovative executives articulate the dream of success and effectively integrate key capabilities to focus on customer-centricity, leverage technology, and cultivate innovation competency and collaboration with their networks. Through stories of successful companies and her experience consulting with Fortune 500 companies, Rushi helps business leaders react to ever-changing environments with flexible thinking and adaptability to create work cultures that thrive on innovation, risk-taking, and creativity.
