February’s issue of Harvard Business Review included 20 essays exploring Breakthrough Ideas for 2007.
Here they are in 6 word story format.
1. The Accidental Influentials. Gladwell’s wrong. Epidemics created by many.
2. Entrepreneurial Japan. Not an oxymoron; catalyzing the rebound.
3. Brand Magic: Harry Potter Marketing. Mutual Maturation: brands and their customers.
4. Algorithms in the Attic. Businesses future found in math’s past.
5. The Leader From Hope. In tumultuous times lead with hope.
6. An Emerging Hotbed of User-Centered Innovation. User-Centered Innovation holds potential. Ask Denmark.
7. Living With Continuous Partial Attention. To miss nothing, constantly scan everything. (or, helping to explain how I am)
8. Borrowing from the PE Playbook. PE’s M&A lesson: be very selective.
9. When to Sleep on It. Consciously collect info. Unconsciously make decisions.
10. Here comes XBRL. XML-based standard will revolutionize financial tools. (or, sit tight Howard, new tools coming)
11. Innovation and Growth: Size Matters. Innovation ’superlinearly’ scales with population growth. (or, the title sums it up nicely)
12. Conflicted Consumers. If alternatives exist ‘loyal’ customers leave.
13. What Sells When Father Knows Best. Conservatism rising. ‘Values’ matter. Businesses adapt.
14. Business in the Nanocosm. Nanotechnology changing society in big ways.
15. Act Globally, Think Locally. Maximize global returns: aggregate local knowledge.
16. Seeing Is Treating. Imaging technology and biotechnology improve care.
17. The Best Networks Are Really Worknets. Build networks after defining desired outcomes.
18. Why U.S. Health Care Costs Aren’t Too High. Health costs aren’t rising. Spending is.
19. In Defense of “Ready, Fire, Aim”. Good innovation: fail fast, fix faster.
20. The Folly of Accountabalism. Bureaucratizing morality solves little, sacrifices innovation.
