Hvordan kan bedrifter ledes slik at de skaper større verdier i en stadig mer digitalisert økonomi? Innovasjonsevne og digital transformasjon i norske bedrifter gir deg nye verktøy og innsikter som kan brukes til å skape verdier på en smart, bærekraftig og ansvarlig måte. Digital transformasjon innebærer å endre bedriften slik at den skaper nye verdier for kunder og brukere gjennom nye tjenester basert på digitale teknologier. Mange bedrifter mislykkes i denne prosessen fordi de mangler innovasjonsevne, og denne evnen må bedriftene utvikle på egenhånd – den kan ikke kjøpes. I boken viser forfatteren hvordan dette kan gjøres. Forfatteren bruker resultater fra en ny studie om to konsern innen mediebransjen i Norge til å vise hvordan innovasjonsevne og digital transformasjon virker inn på verdiskapingen. Målgruppen for boken er personer med lederansvar, forskere innen ledelse, medier og innovasjon, og politikere og studenter som er opptatt av ny verdiskaping gjennom digitalisering.

A method to find and connect the small data clues that show what the future's big picture will look like. "Strategy decisions are like playing high-stakes blackjack, and scanning is the technique for counting cards. Martin Schwirn isn't a pro gambler, but an expert in scanning." --Bill Ralston, cofounder of Strategic Business Insights and author of Scenario Planning Handbook An organization's future success depends on their decision makers' ability to anticipate changes and disruptions in the marketplace.

There is a growing trend toward innovation in public services, and the integration of public and private entities in their delivery. This book aims to improve the ability to innovate successfully in large-scale public/private endeavors. The authors develop an underpinning theory of innovation, and extend it to address key issues in public/private collaboration. As an example, they explore the subject of independent living for seniors and persons with disabilities across four countries - the US, UK, Norway and Japan. The resulting model provides a vehicle for all major stakeholders to better understand the dynamics of innovation, which will in turn offer the opportunity to improve performance and successful adoption. This book will provide useful insight for students of innovation, public service planning and delivery, and health and social services. In addition, the original opinion research on residents of the four countries will prove interesting for students of sociology and medical anthropology.

This book aims to develop innovation theory by focusing on innovation in a consumer society. In an advanced consumer society, services dominate and are provided through digital as well as physical channels by local, national and global firms. This book aims to identify the ways in which value can be increased for all stakeholders through both incremental and disruptive innovation. When interacting with leading businesses, there is a common acceptance that we need a better understanding of how to innovate in a service economy. Today, most advanced economies are service and knowledge based, accounting for about 70 percent of GDP. OECD reports document a considerable knowledge gap related to service innovation. It is a challenge for both business and society that future economic growth will increasingly be based on services rather than manufacturing and products. Failing to understand innovation issues in this context as an engine for growth is somewhat alarming. This raises the question: do we know how to innovate successfully in a consumer driven society? In this book, the authors develop the concept of Value Driven Service Innovation, alongside a methodology for applying this approach in practice: the Service Innovation Triangle. They develop a better understanding of innovation, based on the uniqueness of services in order to develop the theory of service innovation suitable for a consumer society.

The global digital revolution has changed consumer society, service expectations, and funding models forever. Value Driven Service Innovation explores these changes from the perspectives of leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of innovation today.
