About the Book:
So why kill ideas? Dr. Henderson demonstrates that ideas alone are failing! They promise growth but too often lead to products and services that don't deliver. The wellspring of BIG growth is opportunity; opportunity that comes by killing ideas as the starting place for growth and replacing them with the pursuit of opportunity.
Opportunity thinking leads to growth and killer ideas
Opportunity thinking is a powerful approach that empowers us to see potential in new places'across markets, technologies, business models, brands, and design. Understanding opportunity informs, inspires, and generates big ideas that win.
Dr. Henderson weaves a story with examples from history, businesses, quotes and illustrations that provides readers with the inspiration and tools to pursue growth through a deeper understanding of opportunity. An understanding that leads to the insights necessary to build bigger ideas that will win.
