The nine core strategies that will help companies keep customers, attract quality talent, generate revenue, and improve the communities around them, all in the face of new disruptive forces. Beyond Great will give readers everywhere the strategies they need to navigate a daunting new era of technological, economic, and social change. Supported by years of research and hands-on consulting practice, it will present a comprehensive framework for building a high performing, adaptive, and socially responsible global company. The book begins by taking an incisive look at the disruptive forces transforming globalization, including economic nationalism; the boom in data flows and digital commerce; the rise of China; heightened public concerns about capitalism and the environment; and the emergence of borderless communities of digitally connected consumers. The authors then offer nine core strategies that will help businesses today address and exploit these forces. Through compelling stories from real companies that have used these strategies to make change, Beyond Great argues that leaders today must evince a new kind of flexibility and light-footedness, constantly layering in new strategies and operational norms atop existing ones to allow for "always-on" transformation. Leaders must master a whole new set of rules about what it takes to be "global," becoming shapeshifters adept at handling contradiction, multiplicity, and nuance. This book will show them how.
"Beyond Great is an excellent book for leaders who want to build thriving businesses in today' s volatile world. It forces us to examine the basic beliefs that have guided global firms in the last century and offers practical, actionable strategies to address the many challenges and opportunities that this new era offers. I commend the authors for writing a serious business book on strategy in this highly readable and jargon free manner. "--Jan Jenisch, Group CEO, LafargeHolcim "Connecting the physical and digital world to drive economic growth while consuming fewer resources and managing increasingly complex geopolitics is the paramount challenge and opportunity of our time. Beyond Great provides great examples and insights into how organizations have to change and adapt in this ever faster, ever evolving world. "--Dr. Roland Busch, CEO elect, Siemens AG "COVID 19 dramatically exposed the fault lines emerging in our global society, leaving businesses to cope with thorny questions such as who are our real stakeholders, how to optimise digital technology, and what are the expectations from businesses. This book offers a timely and urgently needed strategic playbook that tackles some of these vexing issues of our times. It is replete with practical examples and a must read for any business person seeking to navigate an uncertain world. "--Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group "Whether you' re running an industrial company or a bank, a media firm or a global stock index, Beyond Great offers a much-needed handbook to master organizational strategy--and come out ahead--even during these trying times. "--Robert Greifeld, Former Chairman and CEO, NASDAQ, author of Market Mover: Lessons from a Decade of Change at Nasdaq
