a given set of knowledge stocks []

into a world in which the focus of value

creation is effective participation in

In a fast-moving world, playing on the edge is the best way to

get an edge

To thrive in the Big Shift, todays companies must move frominnovating at a product or service level to innovating across

their entire institutions and they often come with obstacles.

The Scaling Edges methodology helps businesses focus on low-

investment, high-growth-potential opportunitiesedgeswith

fundamentally different business practices that can ultimately

transform the core of the organization.

By focusing on the edges a company can better identify projects that align with thedeeper forces of the Big Shift. In the long run, such edges are most likely to show thegreatest sustainable returns.

By forcing the edges to leverageexternal resources rather thaninternal support, they can avoid theorganizational resistance that oftenattacks new efforts.

Instead of focusing solely onshort-term outcomes, edges helpcompanies tap into theopportunities of tomorrow. In thisway, edges become conduits oftransformation and institutionalinnovation.

Talent management is more than

hiring or training.

Executives understand the importance of culti-vating talent but its not enough to hire the rightpeople. Companies must create work environ-ments that are designed to foster employeedevelopment and performance.

The workplace can have a signifcant impacton an employees ability to learn, engage, andexcel. Our study on Work Environment Redesign

draws from more than 75 organizations to ex-plore this interaction. We outline the goals anddesign principles that will help you redesign yourwork environment for higher performance. Withthese tools, executives can attract and retaintalent, amplify learning and productivity, shapethe perception of the brand, and, ultimately,grow a more dynamic and competitive work-force.

In times of turbulence anddisruption, most companies fall into

reactive strategies.

However, through proactive

innovation some companies may

be able to re-shape their industries.

Shaping Strategies are intentional

efforts to transform an industry

toward an outcome that benets

all participants. By demonstrating

a compelling vision and a

commitment to that vision a

company may be able to mobilizea mass of players to support the

organizations strategic objectives.

There are three main components of a successfulshaping strategy: Shaping View: Articulate a compelling vision

that aligns with the big picture and identifesclear opportunities for all participants.

Shaping Platform: Provide a set of clear stan-dards, practices, and support structures thatorganize the activities of participants whilemaking it more cost-effective to be in theplatform.

Actions and Assets:Demonstrate your com-mitment with actions that build trust in theintentions of the organizer and assets thatincentivize participation in the platform.
