Break Down the Hypothesis: The Importance of the Hypothesis of Record in Evaluating the Progress of an Innovation Initiative
Govindarajan, Vijay; Trimble, ChrisBook Chapter HBS-7062BC-ESimple innovations-for example, to improve a process-often have just one unknown. Game-changing innovations, however, have several. That makes the learning challenge more complex. It becomes crucial to break down the hypothesis from an aggregate conjecture to the smaller assumptions that the larger goal depends on. In a best-case scenario, each unknown is isolated and separately tested in laboratory-like conditions. More often, though, the unknow...Starting at €8.20

Moving On, Moving Up: How Leading a Successful Innovation Can Advance Your Career-and Present New Challenges
Govindarajan, Vijay; Trimble, ChrisBook Chapter HBS-7064BC-EThe recognition that there are fundamental incompatibilities between ongoing operations and the work of innovation is crucial to the successful implementation of any innovation initiative. While ongoing operations seeks efficiency by making every task and process repeatable and predictable, innovation is by nature nonroutine and uncertain. If you lead an innovation initiative, you must address these incompatibilities by building a team with a cus...Starting at €8.20

Delivering World-Class Health Care, Affordably
Govindarajan, Vijay; Ramamurti, RaviArticle HBS-R1311K-EStrategyIndia might appear to be the last place on earth where you would find health care innovation. Although government programs have finally brought some infectious diseases under control, the nation's ability to meet the basic medical needs of its citizens remains abysmal. However, necessity spawns innovation. Despite the pressing demand and constrained supply, a few relatively new Indian hospitals have devised ways of providing world-class health ca...Starting at €8.20

Seek the Truth: How Emotions and Biases Can Distort Progress Evaluations of Innovation Initiatives-and How to Counteract Them
Govindarajan, Vijay; Trimble, ChrisBook Chapter HBS-7063BC-EInnovation is a risky business, fraught with the possibility of failure. In what the authors call the Moment of Truth, you evaluate the success-or failure-of your initiative. A simple innovation might have only one Moment of Truth, but for most initiatives, there are many. And each one is more than just a learning opportunity; it is a critical chance to alter the trajectory of the initiative and improve its odds of success. In this chapter, the a...Starting at €8.20

Stop the Innovation Wars
Govindarajan, Vijay; Trimble, ChrisArticle HBS-R1007F-ESpecial teams dedicated to innovation initiatives inevitably run into conflict with the rest of the organization. The people responsible for ongoing operations view the innovators as undisciplined upstarts. The innovators dismiss the operations people as bureaucratic dinosaurs. It's natural to separate the two warring groups. But it's also dead wrong, say Tuck Business School's Govindarajan and Trimble. Nearly all innovation initiatives build on ...Starting at €8.20

The Five Paths of Reverse Innovation: Creating a Strategy That Fosters Innovation Far from Home and Enables Your Company to Win Everywhere
Govindarajan, Vijay; Trimble, ChrisBook Chapter HBS-9192BC-EChapter 2 of "Reverse Innovation: Create Far from Home, Win Everywhere" reveals how your organization's global strategy must account for the shift of innovation to the developing world--and how those innovations can then be brought back home, as with GE Healthcare's Vscan ultrasound technology, originally created for a price-conscious Chinese market and brought to the United States as a low-cost scanner for every physician's pocket.
