Synopsis

Over a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.

Martin took a fresh, critical approach to helping. When company leaders came to him with fundamental questions—How do you decide where to play and how to win? What is the key to shaping and changing corporate culture? How can you design a successful, sustainable innovation process?—his first response was to break the spell of the current model with a memo articulating a new way to think about the problem at hand and a more powerful and effective way to overcome it.

Over time, these ideas worked their way into Martin's many Harvard Business Review articles. Now, for the first time, they appear together in A New Way to Think. With his trademark incisive intellect and clarity, Martin covers the entire breadth of the management landscape—illuminating the true nature of competition, explaining how company success revolves around customers, revealing how strategy and execution are really the same thing, and much more.

Goodreads review by Andrei on June 20, 2023

Decent information, structured, not too long, and each chapter is telling a proper story. I liked the fact that it is grouped into 4 parts - context, making choices, structuring work, and key activities. The introduction is a great summary of the reasons we need to lean to new ways of thinking and ho......more

Goodreads review by Jens on August 24, 2022

Jeg er en stor Roger Martin fan. Denne bog er lidt en greatest hits af hans tanker om nye og bedre måder at adressere problemstillinger. Martins hovedpointe er, at vi handler ud fra modeller uden at forholde os kritisk til om modellerne virker - og at der ofte ligger en mere præcis og bedre model og......more
